The man’s phone sat in the middle of his desk, surrounded by a mess of papers, coffee mugs, and other detritus. The wallpaper was a picture of a smiling toddler, his newly adopted son.
The man had been married twice before. His first marriage had ended in divorce after a few years, due to his violent temper. His second marriage had been more successful, but it had ended in his wife’s death a few years ago.
The man had met his current wife, also a divorcee, at a support group for people who had lost their spouses. They had quickly fallen in love and married within a year.
The man’s new wife had a two-year-old son from her previous marriage. The man had quickly bonded with the boy, and they had become inseparable.
The man was now looking for a third wife. He believed in the saying, “What happens twice is right to happen three times.” He was confident that he would find a woman who would love him and his son, and that they would live happily ever after.
However, the man’s past was starting to catch up with him. His ex-wife had told their friends and family about his violence, and the word was starting to spread. Some people were starting to avoid him, and he was finding it difficult to find a new wife.
The man was starting to realize that the saying “What happens twice is right to happen three times” was not always true. Sometimes, bad things happen more than once. And sometimes, people who have a history of violence are never able to change.
The man was faced with a difficult choice. He could either give up on his dream of finding a third wife, or he could try to change his ways and prove to the world that he was not a violent man.
The man decided to try to change his ways. He went to therapy and learned how to control his temper. He also started volunteering at a local domestic violence shelter, where he helped other men who were trying to overcome their own violent tendencies.
It took a lot of hard work, but the man eventually succeeded in changing his ways. He found a new wife who loved him and his son, and they lived happily ever after.
The man’s story is a reminder that it is never too late to change. No matter how many times you have made a mistake, you can always start over. If you are willing to put in the hard work, you can overcome your past and build a better future for yourself and your loved ones.
