Re-Marrying A Divorced Spouse
|
But more than that she was concerned with the child's psyche. She didn't want him to feel like a fatherless child. She had also thought, that time and distance would weaken the bond and some day Monty would accept a new papa.
But it didn't happen that way. Monty's yearning for his father didn't lessen. Almost everyday they would talk on the phone. Then one day, Alan suggested to Ketki that it would be better if they got together at least for the child's sake.
Alan said this in a very matter of fact way. Whatever the feelings in his heart, he didn't say that he was missing Ketki outright or that he wanted her back desperately. His remarriage proposal was plain and simple, almost dull.
At one time Ketki would have felt horrified and flatly refused. But the born again Ketki just took a day to think and agree. They married in a registrar's office in the presence of the close family members.
"Don't you want romance and excitement anymore?" I asked her teasingly, to which Ketki replied, "There are more important things in life." Of course this doesn't make Ketki an unhappy woman. She thinks that second time around she and Alan understand each other better. "I am a little more practical and he, a bit more affectionate and caring."
"If there was no child, would things have been different?"
"I don't know. In my case my child was a reason as well as an excuse to remarry the same man." Ketki says. "But I am glad to be back with Alan. Life with him may be routine and predictable but at least there are no uncertainties and tensions. And after being out there, I know that there is no guarantee that one would be happier with a new spouse.
If I have to accept a man with his drawbacks, then why not my first love, who also happens to be the father of my child?"
Of course, like mentioned earlier, other couples may have remarried each other for different reasons. And again, there is no guarantee that the second innings would be better than the first.
