Checking my cellphone, I saw that I had a missed call from Dawn and a text from Shane. I didn’t want to call Dawn back to discuss how things went with Justin and I was with him here in the house, so I decided to text her instead.
Going to the text messages, I went to see what Shane sent me first.
Shane: Hey bestie, just checking on you. I hope things are going okay
Me: Thanks bestie. We talked things out
Shane: Great! So, did he own up to his shit?
Me: Yeah, he admitted he was wrong and apologized
Shane: So y’all working things out
Me: Sort of. I didn’t kick him out and I’m not leaving as of now. I put his ass on time out though
Shane: Well I have your back no matter what you decide
Me: Thanks. I guess time will tell what happens next. I’m willing to stay and fight for our marriage if he acts right from here on out. But one more fuck up and we’ll be done for sure
Shane: I feel you on that hun
Me: Thanks for checking in on me
Shane: You know I got you boo
Once I was done texting Shane, I sent my sister a quick text to update her. I knew she was calling me to see how things went when I made it back home.
Me: Hey sissy, sorry I missed your call. Justin and I were talking
Dawn: What the nigga have to say for himself?
Me: He admitted he fucked up and apologized
Dawn: Who the bitch he cheated with
Me: He didn’t say but at least he didn’t lie about it.
Dawn: Hmmm, well I guess he apologized
Me: I know, but he promises to not let it ever happen again. He wants to work things out. He even suggested that we could go to counseling
Dawn: He is the one that needs counseling not you
Me: True dat, but at least he trying to make things right
Dawn: I still wouldn’t let his ass off the hook too soon. He shouldn’t have cheated in the first place
Me: Very true
Dawn: So you going to go to counseling with him
Me: I don’t know just yet. It’s not a bad idea. I’ma see how things go first though
Dawn: Let’s just hope he acts right moving forward. Where is his ass at now?
Me: Downstairs. I’m in the bedroom. I’ma let him sweat it out for a few days before I completely let it go
Dawn: I don’t think you should let him off so easily, but I get it. Y’all are married. I just hope he doesn’t do anything else stupid otherwise, I’ma have to put my foot up his ass
