My Wife Kicked Me Out To Freeze In The Snow Because I Was Struggling. I Was Rescued By An Old Classmate While My Wife Waited For Me To Beg. How Do I Tell Her I’m Never Coming Home?

H2: A Troubled Marriage

Emma made dinner and sat by the window, waiting for her husband to come home from work. Kevin worked at a woodworking factory and was considered one of the best employees there. However, despite being very successful at his job, Kevin had one addiction which outweighed all of his merits in Emma’s eyes.

The thing was that for the last six months, he came home tipsy every night. Moreover, Kevin couldn’t give a coherent explanation for his behavior. Kevin’s eyes were filled with inexplicable sadness that literally ate him from the inside.

Unfortunately, Emma didn’t want to try and figure out the reasons behind her husband’s abuse of alcohol. Instead, she started a fight every time he got drunk. And now, looking at her watch every now and then, she already knew that Kevin could come home drunk yet again. Trying to denigrate her husband in the eyes of her acquaintances, Emma deliberately told everyone that her husband was an alcoholic.

“What more does he need, Rachel? He has a home, a good job, a beloved wife,”
Emma reasoned in a conversation with her best friend.

“I don’t know what to tell you. Maybe Kevin is having an affair. That’s a possibility. A lot of men do it; they live double lives with two different families,”
Rachel suggested.

She’d been divorced for three years. In the depths of her soul, she envied her more successful friend who had a faithful husband. Meanwhile, the fact that he came home drunk once in a while didn’t seem like that big of a deal to Rachel.

“No, I don’t think that Kevin is cheating on me. And if he is, it’s only with the glass of whiskey,”
Emma said confidently.

At such moments, Rachel looked at her friend sympathetically and shook her head, marveling at her naivety. The point was that her own husband left her for another woman, and now she treated all men with equal disdain. But Emma desperately didn’t want to believe that Kevin could be having an affair and considered his drinking problem the main issue in their relationship.

H2: The Confrontation

And now, looking out the window, she expected Kevin to come home at any minute, swaying on his way. Meanwhile, the woman wasn’t the least bit worried over the fact that it was extremely cold that day, which was atypical even with the harsh climate of Maine.

“It’s fine, he’ll manage somehow. It wouldn’t be the first time,”
Emma thought as she drew the curtain.

A few minutes later, she heard a shuffling noise coming from the front door, which was followed by the sound of the key turning in the keyhole. Emma chuckled knowingly and prepared to deliver her usual speech. Kevin was very drunk, and the suffocating smell of alcohol instantly filled the living room.

“Well, here we go again. How do you even have the audacity to come home in this state?”
Emma said with an emphasis on the last word.

“I’m sorry, honey. I didn’t mean to. It just happened,”
Kevin muttered tiredly, trying to take off his shoes.

He was so drunk that he could hardly stand on his feet. At the sight of his helplessness, Emma only got angrier. The woman suddenly decided that she had the right to kick her husband out of the house, which she inherited from her parents.

“You know what? Go back to where you came from, and don’t expect any concessions or understanding from me. Enough is enough, and I’m tired of your antics. Get out!”
Emma exclaimed and pushed her husband hard on the shoulder.

Kevin staggered, and only the door frame saved him from falling down. Then he looked into Emma’s eyes and whispered:

“But it’s so cold outside. Where would I go? At least let me spend the night on the sofa in the living room, and I’ll leave in the morning.”

But there was no stopping Emma. All she wanted was to humiliate her husband and get him to beg for forgiveness.

“Now he’ll fall at my feet and beg me to let him stay,”
Emma thought, hiding a smile at the corners of her mouth.

To her great surprise, Kevin did no such thing, and instead, he staggered out onto the street. Meanwhile, his coat and hat remained in the hallway. It was getting darker and colder by the minute. Looking at Kevin go, Emma felt the satisfaction of teaching him a lesson. Unfortunately, the woman didn’t even think about the fact that being outside without warm clothes, Kevin could get sick and even get severe frostbite.

H2: A Difference in Dreams

They met five years ago. Despite having a small age difference, they felt a very strong mutual attraction from the very first moment they saw each other. Kevin didn’t drink as much back at the time; actually, he only drank alcohol on some festive occasions.

Having grown up in a poor family, the man was rather ambitious and deep down dreamed of achieving success and financial independence. Emma liked his confidence and determination. However, she was in no hurry to help Kevin implement his ideas and plans.

After the wedding, Emma quit her job and, having moved in with her husband, became a housewife. Meanwhile, Kevin continued to work tirelessly at the woodworking factory. In the depths of his soul, the man dreamed of getting a promotion and becoming the senior foreman or at least the shift supervisor. Moreover, despite his work ambitions, Kevin talked about having a child more and more often.

“Honey, just imagine how great it would be to have a little baby. It wouldn’t even matter if it’s a boy or a girl,”
Kevin said enthusiastically.

Unfortunately, Emma didn’t share his views on this issue and didn’t want to be a mother at all.

“I’m too young to be a mother. I want to enjoy my life. I don’t want to be stuck at home changing diapers all day long. Moreover, the pregnancy would ruin my body, and I can’t allow that to happen,”
Emma responded with undisguised irritation.

“What if we were to adopt a child from an orphanage? That wouldn’t ruin your body,”
Kevin suggested.

But there was simply no changing Emma’s mind. She didn’t want to have children as she didn’t want to focus on anyone but herself. After that memorable conversation about children, Kevin came home drunk for the first time. At first, Emma didn’t think it was a big deal, but when her husband started getting drunk more and more often, she started getting more and more annoyed over it.
