Chapter 149
After all, it was her second time around the block.
To walk away and start over would mean a third attempt at matrimonial bliss.
A second marriage aiready takes guts, and the thought of facing the social pressure that comes with another divorce was daunting.
Young people might not think much of it, but for parents, the weight of such matters is no small burden.
Jocelyn thought Quinta had a pretty carefree take on life. If things weren’t working out, there was no shame in calling it quits. But the general consensus was to make do, to try and stick it out, and to promote reconciliation over separation.

Jocelyn didn’t want to argue. But the unspoken pressure from her parents was palpable. “People make their choices, pick their paths. If they’ve chosen to be together, they should work on it. Do you think Quinta’s blameless in her marriage? They say it takes two to tango. Damian’s
felt a tightness in her chest, “Mom, shouldn’t a husband who loves his wife spend more time comforting her when she’s struggling with infertility, rather than neglecting her and keeping ties with his ex? Isn’t that disrespectful and unfair to Quinta? Quinta has tried long to have kids, but Damian wasn’t cooperative at all. What could she do? He was aware
