A disabled wife was betrayed and suffered another horrible accident that changed her life. She saw her husband beg for money years later and had to make an important decision.
“I can’t do this anymore, Paige. This is not what I signed up for,” Morgan commented after the couple parked up in front of her rural house.
“What?” Paige asked, shocked. “I… for years, I did everything for you. I supported your music career. I supported us through everything. Hell, you didn’t have to cook or clean for one minute here. You didn’t have to move a finger! I was the best wife in the world, and now that I need you, you’re leaving?”
“I’m sorry,” Morgan said, looking down. Morgan said, looking down. Paige tried flailing her arms and yelling to no avail. Paige couldn’t even move.

He rolled Paige up to the front of the house, and took her bags out of his car. She had no idea that he had taken them. Paige wept and pleaded throughout this whole ordeal. Morgan refused to speak and ignored Paige until it was over.
This baritone is something she would recognize anywhere. “Morgan?” She said she was confused.
“I’m a musician, Paige. I’m not cut out for this,” He then said, “I’m going to get in my car.” And he was gone. She received her divorce filing a week later and was convinced that things couldn’t be worse.
The two had first met when Morgan’s band performed at Paige’s restaurant. Paige had always been a smart money person and owned two houses, one in the city for winter vacations and one out in the country. Her savings were also decent.
Paige was immediately in love with the beautiful musician and quickly got married, promising to make the most of her husband. That she was. She was there for him every step of the way, paid all expenses, assured him that he was gifted, and more.
Things turned bad when she had a heart attack due to stress from too much work. Morgan was supposed to assist her. His job was to get her around the home and take her to physical therapy. After doing that for one week, he dumped her at a country house.

She did not know what she would do to recover.

Paige proved to be more resilient than she thought. Paige began taking the train from the city to get to her therapy. The people of the country were kind enough to assist her. She was eventually able to move more, but she still required a wheelchair.
She dropped her purse one day on her journey to the station and struggled to grab it. While trying to find strength to stand up on her own, she used her wheel chair to reach for her purse. The car approaching her didn’t appear to be there. Although she heard the car brake quickly, her shoulder was the most affected by the collision.
“Jesus! Ma’am. Are you alright? I’m sorry! I didn’t see you until it was too late. Oh my god, I’m calling 911,” Unmarried man spoke to her from the side, which was too rapid for her nervous system. But she smiled and nodded in agreement, hoping to be admitted to hospital as soon as possible.
The doctors assured her her legs weren’t affected and that the effect was minimal. The only side effect would be some minor bruising. Paige regretted that her luck was not good enough. Paige felt that every day brought more terrible accidents and bizarre situations into her life. It was not fair.
“Ma’am, are you alright? What did the doctors say?” One person said something from the door of the hospital.

Paige stared at the man and realized that he had struck her. The man was carrying balloons and flowers from the gift shop. Tyler entered the room, looking sheepishly apologetic and sitting next to her bed. He apologized for a million times and they talked for hours.
Paige believed he was sweet and funny, but she didn’t believe he would stay with her for much longer. It was wrong. Tyler drove her home every day and came back to visit every single day. He continued to visit her and asked for her hand in marriage. Many years later they were married.

Tyler lived with her in her rural home but he also had a house and a business that needed him to travel into town often. Paige lived with Tyler and would take Paige to physical therapy, pick her up and hire someone to help.
She eventually regained her most mobility although sometimes she had to use a cane. It was nice for her to have some independence again. After her accident she couldn’t work, she returned to her job at the restaurant.

Tyler purchased her an SUV specially designed for persons with disabilities so that she was always safe.

A day later, someone stopped her from parking in front the restaurant. “Please, lady. Give me $1 for food,” The man asked her, pressing his hand against her face.
Paige looked up to recognize the voice. That baritone would be recognizable anywhere. “Morgan?” She said she was confused.
“What? How? Paige? You’re walking,” Morgan laughed, dropping his head and trying to straighten his hair. His eyes were dark and he looked awful. His eyes were dark, dilated as if… well, he looked bad. He began to plead and beg for help.
He had a terrible time with his family after leaving her. He sold her house after the divorce – which she had agreed to give him as long as he didn’t want anything else from her – and spent all that money drinking and partying.
Paige was also spread by the workers at the restaurants, who were loyal even though Paige couldn’t work. His problems were made worse by the fact that no one wanted his band to play in the city.

He had to be kicked from the band, and he didn’t have anyone to help him. Because his parents were unwilling to assist him, he was left homeless for several months.
“Paige, please help me. I’m so sorry for what I did. I know I don’t deserve your help. But please, please,” Morgan fell to the ground and kneeled down before her in the middle the street.
Paige looked at him, and then thought. It’s done. Here’s my chance to get revenge. However, she was not that type of person. He was helped up by her and she took him into the restaurant.
“I can give you daily work, cleaning the dishes,” Paige presented him with water and food after having given him water. “If you prove you’re a hard worker, we can talk about your playing guitar and singing again. But you can’t look like that.”
Morgan began to cry again. “Thank you. Thank you,” He said that he was eating his food as a ravenous beast.

Paige had been criticized by everyone for being too soft to forgive the man she betrayed, but Tyler saw it differently. “You’re a miracle, Paige. That’s why I love you,” He told her everything that night. Morgan’s terrible actions led to Tyler and he did her a favor.
Is there anything we can learn from this tale?
- Marriage is a delicate subject. It is not easy to find a partner who will be great for you. Paige was foolishly in love and gave everything to her husband. He was unwilling to do the exact same for her husband.
- Resentment is not an answer. Take on the role of a bigger person. Morgan could have been turned away by Paige, but she knew better.
