Lover is better than Husband - Part I

At certain moments in life, we must have absolute precision when choosing the decision to be made. The same speed with which a question comes our way should flow an incisive answer and without any hint of indecision... simple answer: yes or no, being discarded all conjectures such as I'll think ...it will fit or some other evasive revealing insecurity. So it happened. We went out together, Armando and me and upon reaching the street would take different directions, each one for his own world now not with common commitments and goals. He turned to me and I was already extending his hand for a formal farewell, when he looked into my eyes said: "I would like to stay with you the rest of the day in a reserved place". We headed for the highway that connects town to a fishing village on the shore, mountainous area overlooking the sea and under special care by the local government so it was clean with trees and many flower beds as well as kiosks where you could see groups of people - tourists naturally enjoying the wonders of those tropical regions. We had never argued for any reason, although we had different views on some aspects. Our cohabitation I considered healthy and we were still young; he was almost 41 years old and I 38 full. The marriage just ended without a moment of reflection about the real reasons for separation. We were trying to resolve some domestic issues and at one point in disagreement myself suggested that we separate and my partner did not hesitate. He agreed immediately and left there to provide formalization of this outcome. In a way I was happy with our decision and felt comforted by my husband's ready acceptance of the divorce, considering that for some time there had been no motivation to get married. I think we responded negatively to the judge just as quickly as he proposed, and I agreed to spend an afternoon together. Absorbed in my thoughts, I didn't realize that we had arrived somewhere - a roadside hotel. Yes, I had neglected it and was sure of this now that the bonds of marriage were broken I was certain that the man whom I loved so much and still love has been set aside as if he stores some papers in a closet to be examined later when there is time which sometimes never comes.
