Letter to my husband's mistress

                                                                Dear Stranger,

I know this letter will surprise you, especially coming from me.You probably have the feeling that I hate you.And if we stay and think about it, I have all the reasons to do that.You are that woman who wants everything I have.Because of you I get only cold and lonely nights and I know that my husband spends more money with you in a day that with us in a week.
However, it's important to not forget that the hollydays are a moment of generosity.This is why i decided to forgive you. I realise that even you,despite that vamp image you adopt,are a lonely woman who needs a piece of attention and kindness..I can imagine you standing and drinking your cofee next to a winter tree which nobody helped you decorate,opening gifts that you bought yourself, and it breaks my heart.
Still it's not my fault that, from all those men runing around you, you've stoped your attention on my husband.Maybe you didn't realised that he was already taken.I am sorry you didn't realised that our relationship it's too strong for you to break it.
You see, we decorate our Christams tree toghether.This after spending several days in stores to buy the perfect gifts for our kids.Those kids who give meaning to our life.You don't have kids and I don't see you giving your time to another human being instead to your perfect manicure.You will never find out how pleasent it is to drink a glass of wine with your family and to remember all the beautifull things that happened in that year.You don't know how it is to cook goodies after old recipes.
We are listening to "Silent Night", I get to try the new earings my husband got to me,wear the perfume that he got to me -my favourite perfume-, my family praises the sweet bread that i made.
And in moments like that I feel how we are getting stronger and stronger.You are waisting your beauty waitting for a man who will never offer you more than money and a few hours from his time.What are you going to do when you are older ?How is your Christmas going to look when you're 80 ?Who will wish you "Happy New Year"?Who will offer you some shelter into his arms?Who will make you a hot cup of tea when you will be bed-ridden?
I am sure you deserve more.All you have to do is to find that man that will give you all of this. A "busy" one won't.
Take care of your soul.
                                                                                                  Compassion,
                                                                                                  A loving wife
