IWas Sure My Wife Would File for Divorce after the Bachelor Party – Instead, I Found a Rose on the Bedside Table After a night of revelry at his brother’s bachelor party, John was certain his wife, Allison, would be furious or even contemplate divorce. Instead, he awoke to find a rose, two pain-relief medications, and a loving note on his bedside table, sparking a humorous revelation about their 25-year marriage.I’ve been with my wife, Allison, for twenty-five years. As with any long-term relationship, our path together has been full of love, laughter, and obstacles. We became inseparable as soon as we met in college.Our shared appreciation of old movies and strenuous mountain excursions helped us get close. We’ve created a life together throughout the years, raising two amazing kids and sticking by one another through good times and bad.But lately, things have not been easy.
Allison began to ask me if I still loved her, saying that I don’t spend much time with her. Typically, these discussions took place late at night after I got home from my rigorous new job. I was aware that I was ignoring my wife’s emotional needs because of the continual pressure I felt to succeed in my work. I was afraid of what would happen after my brother’s bachelor celebration yesterday. I was positive Allison would be furious with me for staying out so late and would even consider divorcing me. I was caught in a vicious loop that I couldn’t escape, yet the idea of losing her was intolerable.I was shocked to discover, when I woke up this morning, a rose, a glass of water, two Advil, and a message from Allison on my bedside table. “Hello honey, this medication is for your headache. Come to the kitchen when you’re ready, and I’ll prepare your favorite breakfast. I cherish you.”
