“Where have you been?” Lea asked Glen as soon as he got home. “You promised that you’d get in early so that you could fix the door. It’s been like that for weeks now.”
“I was at the office,” he said wearily as he removed his shoes and coat.
“I called you but got your answering machine.”
“I was probably away from my desk.”
“I called your cell too.”
“It’s turned off when I’m in the office.”
“You were with her, weren’t you?”
He didn’t answer.
“Stop seeing her, Glen or else…”
“Or else what?”
She didn’t answer.

Lots of broken promises from Glen. I wonder if there is any hope for these two. Great story.

I doubt that there’s any hope for them unless, he ends his affair and works on saving his marriage. Thanks, Amie 🙂

Well, if she doesn’t have an answer to “or else what” I say she’s just gpnna keep letting him do it.

That’s it exactly. Her not answering “or else what?” was an answer in itself. She will continue to let things continue as they are until she is forced to do something.

A perfect example of why you shouldn’t make empty threats. It sounds like their relationship is toast.

All the threats in the world won’t change him. Drop him like a hotcake.

I’m not sure Lea should give him another chance.

It seems like Lea isn’t sure what to do. She wants to leave him but seems reluctant to do so, hence the empty threat.

Dear Adele,
She had Glen’s number all right. Sooner or later, I think there will be an or else. It’s a tough place for a woman to get to. Well done.
Shalom,

Dear Rochelle,
Yes, she does. And you’re right, sooner or later she will have to put an ultimatum in place and it is a tough place for a woman to be in. Thanks 🙂
Shalom,
