Married life has spanned ten years, filled with childbirth, raising children, and endless housework. One day, while working part-time at a café, I unexpectedly reunited with my ex-boyfriend. His confession came as a series of shocks—I discovered I had unknowingly become a guarantor for his debts, and even more disturbing, he demanded intense sex from me. Eleven years ago, he was consumed by gambling, smoking, drinking, and violence. I had fled that lifestyle by marrying my then-boss. My husband is kind and honest, but lacks masculine allure. In contrast, my ex is sexually dominant and thrilling, yet deeply flawed as a person. Torn between these two ideals, I've made a decision—to take on a new challenge.
