It was an unusually quiet night, the peace disturbed only by the soft breathing of my sleeping wife . The serene tranquility of our bedroom, where only the whisper of the wind outside could be heard, was suddenly interrupted by a digital interruption—a Facebook notification. An unexpected friend request from a woman from the past, wishing to reconnect, caught my attention at a time when the world around us was in deep tranquility.

With a mixture of surprise and curiosity, I accepted the request and immediately messaged back: “Do we know each other?”

Her response came quickly and was shockingly direct: “I heard you ‘re married , but I still love you.”

Her words, charged with unspoken emotions, contrasted sharply with her attractive profile photo.

It was an uncomfortable reminder of a time before my current life full of devotion and love.

Safe

As I wrapped up the conversation and looked at my oblivious wife, many thoughts occurred to me.

There she lay, in our new, jointly chosen home, far from the parental home where she had been surrounded by her family for 24 years.

The memories of her childhood—her mother’s care, her brother and sister’s jokes that made her laugh, the loving little things her father brought along—played in my mind.

All this reinforced the realization of the deep security and trust she placed in me by sleeping so peacefully next to me in a completely new environment.

Promise

This deep reflection led me to a firm decision.

Given the love and trust my wife had given me, there was no other option for me than to return this trust to her with the same unconditionality.

With a determined push of the button I chose “BLOCK”.

I turned to her, felt a renewed sense of connection and responsibility, and fell asleep with a strong sense of devotion.

Fidelity

As a man, and no longer a boy, I swore an oath of loyalty at my marriage.

This promise goes far beyond words; it is a commitment that must be affirmed every day, with every action and decision.

Tonight’s incident was not just a challenge, but a confirmation of my unwavering commitment to the woman I share my life with.

I am determined to be the man I promised to be—faithful, devoted, and always mindful of the sacredness of our marriage.
