Polygamy 411

Alex and Carolinah were away on their vacation (It’s now July 2007-seven months after their marriage). I thought Alex would have called me while he was away with her.  Although, I had told him not to call when he was with Carolinah.  I thought about him much and began missing him. I became angrier each day that he didn’t call me.

One day towards the end of their vacation, during the day, I called Alex and left a nasty voice mail message, about him not calling me. Alex immediately called me back.  He was very apologetic for not having called.  He said he was just honoring my wishes by not calling me, as I had asked.  There was sadness in Alex’s voice.  He sounded melancholy.  I felt like his heart touched mine.  He said he would have called me, but I had told him not to call when he was with Carolinah.  I still didn’t let him know that I knew his whereabouts.

When Alex came home to me, he told me how much he had missed me. He said it for many days to follow.  He said he would have called me every day and a couple of times a day, if he had known it would be okay with me.  I knew he was truly sincere. 

That was a mighty big change for the two of us, not vacationing with each other.  I missed him and he missed me.
