A woman decides to ask her husband out on a date to rekindle their flame. He refused, admitting he was ashamed of her, only to learn an important lesson from one of his good friends later.
Jack and Mary had been married for 23 years with four children who needed constant attention from Mary.
Their life was a routine, something that no longer excited the couple. Their daily routine differed from one another.
Jack would come home from work, lay on the couch, and watch television until dinner. Meanwhile, Mary worked the entire day, cooking dinner, washing everyone’s clothes, caring for their youngest child, and guiding the other kids with their homework. When Mary would finally have free time late at night, she’d watch romantic films and imagine herself in them.
She’s been dreaming of going on a date, as she and her husband haven’t gone on one in a while.
However, when Mary looked at herself in the mirror, she was saddened by what she saw. She looked nothing like the women in the movies. She glanced at her wedding photo in front of the mirror and couldn’t believe her eyes.
She now saw a tired, sad old woman instead of the cheerful young girl she once was. Shaking the thought, she decided to change her reality.
