Truth be told I've tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer

Jonathan was senator, which meant he was busy everyday going to the office and then coming home at night. But he knew Martha understood this would change things, well he at least thought she understood. So when he found out about her affair with Lionel, he was crushed.

Sure he knew there had been some attraction between the two, he sensed that when she started working for him in the first place. But now the signs were there, that where was something much more than friendship between the two.

Jonathan did want to keep this from Clark, he figured Clark had so much on his mind already, he didn't need this to add to it. And up until this point, Martha was always home before Jonathan came home, so he still had some doubt there was something going on. However, tonight, Jonathan got home later than usual only to find out that Martha wasn't home.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's the bitter taste of losing everything
That I have held so dear.

Martha came home and Jonathan had been waiting up for her in the living room. "Sorry I'm late Jonathan. Lionel wanted to go over some papers with me," Martha said.

"I'm sure he did," Jonathan said quietly.

"Jonathan we've been through this, there's nothing going on between us."

"Martha you hardly talk to me as it is now, how am I supposed to believe there's nothing going on between the two of you?"

"Because you're my husband and I'm your wife and you're supposed to."

Jonathan shook his head, "Martha I can tell when you're lying."

"You want the truth then? Yes I've been sleeping with Lionel. But in case you haven't noticed, you haven't exactly been around the farm lately so what else was I supposed to do!"

"You knew me becoming senator would change things. Now who's it gonna be, me or him?" Jonathan said.
