TO THE WIFE OF MY LOVER
IT’S a story as old as the hills: woman falls for married man and then spends years of her life sneaking around in the hope that he’ll eventually leave his wife.
But although we often hear from the person who’s been cheated on and feels betrayed, we seldom get to hear the perspective of “the other woman”, as she’s known.
Having spent two years living on lies and empty promises, Ingrid* from Centurion, Gauteng, believes it’s a story that deserves to be heard.
And that’s why she’s writing this open letter to Estelle*, the wife of her lover, André*.
She hopes it will serve as a cautionary tale to save other women a whole lot of needless heartache.
