This article is a story about a couple I know and it can give strength to anyone suffering at this moment through a difficult break up. My friends, Tony and Donna had been married for about 15 years when Donna got a phone call from someone named Carrie.

Carrie told Donna that she had been dating Tony for over two years and that she was going to leave her husband so they could be together. Carrie told Donna to check out some of the emails and to check the cell phone records if she needed proof.

This all came as a shock to Donna. Although she had suspected that Tony might be hanging out at the bar a little too often she had never considered the fact that he might actually be having an affair. But Donna checked the emails and phone records as Carrie had suggested and she found more than enough evidence to know that Carrie was telling her the truth.

But Donna is an intelligent woman. She also found out where Carrie lived and so she went over to her home. Carrie was not there but her husband Bill was. Donna told Bill everything. Bill seemed to be very angry and not hurt at all. Donna found out that Carrie worked in the restaurant just down the street from the factory that Tony managed.

Donna waited for Tony to arrive home that evening and he was late as usual. She had all of the evidence to throw at him. But to her surprise Tony did not deny anything. He simply packed a bag and left. That was not the response she wanted. She later made a phone to Carrie to tell her that she had confronted Tony with all the details. Carrie was polite and told Donna that because Bill was now aware of the situation he was moving out of their home.

I am going to leave out a lot of the details here but Tony and Donna were separated for about 8 months. During that time Tony lived with Carrie. But Donna never gave up on the relationship. She kept in touch with Tony regularly.

As we have heard before, the grass is always greener someplace else, but often we find that the someplace else is a nice place to visit but not to live. It seems that is what happened with Tony.

In order to assure that the relationship between Carrie and Tony was truly over Donna insisted in moving, which meant that Tony would have to change jobs. But Tony agreed and they have lived peacefully together ever since. The moral of this story is that if the relationship is built on a strong foundation it can survive some terrible storms! Build yours on friendship for a rock solid foundation.
