23 December 1973
Don Mills
At last the uncertain misery of the fall and summer has
manifested itself. On Tuesday 18 December Caroline told me that she loved
another man. That she has been seeing him and making love with him since
Brussels that she initiated the affair and has fallen in love with him and
wants to live with him. My state of shock is one of returning waves of
unhappiness desperation and realization of how much I still love Caroline. We
have become perhaps closer with more honest and intensive communication but she
shall leave me and I shall remain with the children. She will never understand
the depth of my love for her nor value it sufficiently she does not see all too
clearly. She says she loves me does not want a divorce, but will leave me and
live with another man. Independent Caroline cutting her own swath with a man
more conventional in outlook than I am – I do not wish her pain but with my
heart I wish her bad luck and good sense to see that she has lost what she can
have. I shall have to open a new life for myself to be come stronger, less
inhibited, more attractive sexy and learn about living and life. I go through
the days with Caroline as in a dream seeing her touching her and hoping that
when I wake up she won’t be gone but I know 2 days after Christmas the children
and I must leave so that when we return the house will no longer have her or
her things. Our bedroom, my favourite room, will be bare. I pray that I get her
back yet all tell me that such dreams are hopeless.

The children and I left on Thursday morning for London for
three days so that Caroline could move out and be gone when we return tomorrow.
It was strange knowing that it could be the last night we sleep together and
saying goodby as if I would be coming home from work later.
Michael cried in the car and was angry with Caroline, why
would she do this to me to him. He was most loyal.
