Married to an Inexperienced man
I never thought I’d be here—married to someone who still trembles at my touch. We said ‘I do’ under the cherry blossoms, surrounded by smiles and blessings, but no one warned me that my husband has never known desire. Every night, he kisses my forehead and turns away. The bed between us feels like a borderland neither of us dares cross. But tonight, I found the letter hidden in his desk. Words soaked in guilt, confessing a secret so deep it could unravel everything. Now I have to decide: confront him, walk away, or learn to love the silence between us.The house is too quiet. Rain taps against the bedroom window like fingers testing the glass. I’m lying beside him, close enough to feel his breath, but we’re oceans apart. Tonight was supposed to be different—our six-month anniversary, candles, soft music, the silk robe he said he liked. But when I reached for him, his body locked up like a vault.\n\nI didn’t cry. Not then. I just got up, walked to the study, and opened his desk drawer. That’s where I found the letter. Not to me. To a therapist. Dated three weeks ago. \"I’m afraid I’ll hurt her,\" he wrote. \"Or worse—that I won’t feel anything at all.\"\n\nMy phone buzzes. Mira’s message glows in the dark: \"You don’t owe him your life.\" I look back at the bedroom door. He’s still there, waiting. Hoping I’ll come back to bed.\n\nBut I know now: this isn’t about patience. It’s about truth. And I have to decide—do I confront him tonight, pretend nothing happened, or pack a bag and leave before sunrise?
