Help Wanted Sign: A Story

Dear Larry,
I love you with all of my heart, and will never stop telling you the truth about our relationship. We need to extensive counseling through this possibility of you leaving our home permanently (a divorce). Emotionally, I wish I was strong enough to stand up to your angry outbursts as you go out on me with your sweetheart, Rena. (You thought I didn’t know. Surprise.)
The only reason I stay married to you after finding out this information is because I believe you are capable of changing in our marriage. You are still the man I want to grow old with. Right now, I am obviously not your one and only? I need you to open up, and communicate honestly with me about what’s going on in your head. Don’t shut me out of your heart anymore.  
Sometimes, you can make me so angry. The bad thoughts about you swirl through my brain like an out-of-control snowstorm. My mouth then takes over in an effort to protect myself emotionally. Stop the physical silence and distance sexually. We have got to stop pushing each others buttons to the point of no return. Do you want that for us? I will never stop loving you because I’d rather go to Heaven than live without you.
Love, Melanie
