B's Story: I'm married for almost 3 years.
I love my husband he's younger than
me he's 28 and I just 30. My cousin (we not blood cousin, my aunt
marry his dad) I like to play with him because he's funny and
always come to me to talk about his sex life. In my country that's
something different because woman are not suppose to talk this
way with a men. only whore do that. so for me it was like be different.
Know I see i was wrong
because my cousin maybe think he has the right to do that. I feel
is my fault and I know my family will think the same. I love my
husband he
won't stay with me |
