Open Marriage Miscommunication

This soliloquy reflects on the consequences of leading a double life when an individual fails to communicate their desires with their partner, resulting in feelings of guilt and shame for deceiving them.

A woman sitting alone with her head bowed in shame and sorrow.

Ah, woe is me! How could I have been so blind? I told my co-workers that I was in an open marriage, But I never told my husband of this arrangement. My trust betrayed, my life in disarray, My actions now cost me my job and the price to pay. I thought that I had done no wrong, yet here I am alone. My heart broken by the truth that was hidden from my home. What can be done when secrets come out? What should be said? How can one move on from such a misstep made? Alas! My foolishness has caused much pain and strife; I must accept the consequences of leading a double life.
