His journey is a reminder of the importance of open communication, mutual understanding, and the courage to face difficult truths in order to heal and progress.
Steven works two jobs to support himself: an electrician during the day and a taxi driver at night. When a passenger unexpectedly boards his cab one day as he picks up his next shift, everything he believes to be true about his family is revealed.
When I found out my wife was lying, everything changed.
Since then I have been working hard to support my family. I have been married to my wife Janny for six years and we have two wonderful children, Taylor and Janine. However, we started to feel the pressure on our finances after the birth of Janine’s second child.
Suddenly we were faced with an excessive amount of expenses. So I drove a taxi part-time, mostly at night, to help me make ends meet.
My wife told me a few months ago that she wanted to visit her mother in another state.
“My mom hasn’t been too well, Steven,” she replied. “I think I just have to go over there and spend some time with her.
I agreed. Janny and her mother were always close, and I knew that Janny missed her after we moved after we got married.
She said, “Do you want to come?”
But she knew I’d say no because I’d upset Janny’s mother by forcing us to move.
My parents were able to spend time with Taylor and Janine while I worked an extra shift because they live ten minutes away.
I dropped the kids off at my parent’s house and promised them hamburgers for dinner.
I drink coffee to stay awake while I wait outside the coffee shop a few hours after my shift.
My phone beeped, signaling that someone had requested a ride. After being accepted, I drove to the address, which was a hotel a few blocks from my house.
I said I reached the place and unlocked the door and I was waiting for my companion. The woman slipped inside after the man opened the door moments later.
I didn’t turn around until the door was closed, because we were instructed not to; it was just a matter of letting our passengers get settled before turning around.
But then I recognized the voice.
The voice commented with satisfaction, “The kids should have the time of their lives with Steven.”
My heart sank. My wife was sitting in the back seat with a man’s hand on her knee when I turned around.
“Janny?” I screamed.
“Oh my god,” she stumbled.
“Steven, honey, I can explain it to you.
I transported Janny’s visitor to the restaurant listed on the website.
“Aren’t you going out?” Not sure what to say or do at that moment, I asked her.
She said, “We need to talk,” as she sat in the back.
As we drove through town, we discussed the reality of our marriage.
Janny revealed that she doesn’t just need financial support and that she feels like she’s been alone for too long.
“I go from being at school with bratty teenagers all day to having to cook and clean and take care of our kids,” she noted with a frown.
“I’m juggling two jobs, Janny,” I remarked, pausing. “You can’t blame me for making more money to support our family.
“I don’t blame you,” she murmured. “I just needed more. Max offered me that too.
I drove quietly. I wanted to use my mind to reason and try to figure out Janny’s perspective. But the reality was that she broke our promises.
She chose to seek comfort elsewhere than to be open and honest with me about how she felt.
I was unable to look past it. I couldn’t forgive myself for that.
So I started the divorce process and gave everything I owned to Janny and our children. We gave up everything – our house, our savings – in an effort to protect our children from the consequences of a lawsuit.
The course of events was not meant to disrupt the lives of any of them. I promised to get up and on my feet as quickly as possible when I moved in with my parents.
My focus was always on my children and making sure they had the best childhood possible. Janny and I were not married, but we still wanted our children to know how much their parents loved them.
Even now I feel like Janny left me because we were both overworked and trying to get by at work.
However, I never imagined that making such an effort for my family would also lead to their ultimate destruction.
I still work nights as a taxi driver and those long periods of time alone have allowed me to come to terms with my circumstances. I can only hope Janny experiences the same.
Have you experienced anything comparable?
Here is one more fairy tale for you.
