A year before today, I was trying my best to get out of the Christmas blues: being busy with work, hanging out with friends and just about anything to get my mind off Christmas. You see its one thing being alone during Christmas, it’s another thing being alone and away from your wife during Christmas.We really missed each other last year, she felt the same way. We both were lonely.
Loneliness is one of the biggest reason, infidelity is so rampant with people away from their loved ones. You can easily be tempted to appease your loneliness. Forget about love, kids; loneliness drives people to justify their infidelity with the shortcomings of their husband/wife.Having said that however, I too was tempted, but I couldn’t see myself hurting my wife so I cut it short early on. Only a strong marital/love foundation can let that person see past the momentarily physical weakness.
Anyways, my rants aside, this year my Wife and I celebrated Christmas, snuggled to each other(very cold in Saudi this time of year) and watching "Happy Feet." We weren’t lonely anymore.
