"But Mapitsi has tried everything to save her marriage. This is her giving up and letting everything be. Perhaps Tbose will now start to fight for the marriage."

Mapitsi must know that some wounds don't heal till death unless you pretend to be healed while feeling the pain inside. That's the reality of nature. Tbose will never recover from this. Every man who's or was in the same situation as Tbos understands. You've won, brother."
