If a woman has done all that was humanly possible to hold her husband and has failed, she must realize that acceptance of the inevitable--even the temporarily inevitable--is the only way to bear this painful result. The husband's weaknesses may have found their expression in outer action. But through the painful results of that expression he may eventually discover a truer set of values. If she has tried to appeal to his better nature and failed, she must now let him do what he wishes and try the path of personal experience in the satisfaction of his desires, which is the common path for most people.
