Why I Stay
I stay because I’m in love.
I stay because I care.
I stay because I don't want a failed marriage.
I stay because I don't want to be alone—I can’t stand to be alone and that’s a problem.
I stay because I don't want to start over with someone new.
I stay because the money that was spent on the wedding would have been a waste if I leave.
I stay because I don't want people saying I can't keep a man. Why do I even care what people think?
I stay because I know that some of his family members don't want us together anyway. I don't want to give them the satisfaction of witnessing our break up.
I stay because I don’t have the strength to do anything else.
God give me the strength—to leave if it becomes necessary.

This was a interesting read. A cheating foul husband got his just desserts in the end. Isabella knew that she couldn’t receive the good in life if she didn’t let go of the bad. I think this story will help many women going through the same circumstances in life. Even though this was a work of fiction, the subject and circumstances of this story felt real.
These are supposed to be well educated professional individuals but that is not the way they came across. I didn't appreciate the overly "ethnic" speak that these so called professionals used, it was unecessary and stereotypical.
This book was everything! Sometimes you just have to let go of things that takes away your sanity. This man was doing the most. Cheating, betrayal, friendships being broken.. I’m glad she came to her senses. Having a baby tho, nawl I probably would have killed him. smh
This was a story of a strong woman who endured betrayal in too many forms. Isabella made it through without losing her dignity, job, or life. Isabella was not only strong, but could teach others how to handle bad situations. Please give a read, you will not be sorry
