Putting things in their place
Four years ago I was a happily married woman to a man I always thought had my best interest at heart. We had a whirlwind romance and I fell very deeply in love. He seemed to be everything I had ever dreamed of until one day the betrayal I felt has never been repaired.

Life Support
Sylvia could not pinpoint the date and time her marriage went on life support. She supposed it was the day her husband, Henry, scratched his crotch and expelled gas from his behind in her presence without saying “excuse me,” or when he forgot her birthday and monopolized the television remote without regard to her feelings, or when they were no longer intimate with one another. Either way, their marriage was in critical condition. It was suffering from a lingering case of indifference and there was no defibrillator in sight.

There Are Many Things I Miss About Being Married . Top Story - February 2021.
It has been three months since my husband did an about-face and refused to continue marriage counseling. Since he told me I was the cause of all his problems. Three months since the last time we slept in the same bed, or shared a kiss, or touched each other at all.

The Move
Just today a friend told me about a king who wanted to know what made happy people sad and sad people happy. Spoiler alert: thinking about how "this too shall pass." And so my initially happy marriage ended after 20 years when my husband realized we were incompatible and did not want my input on the matter. He told our teenagers on our anniversary, a couple days after we celebrated with them and his parents.

The Beautiful Affair
My husband is having an affair. It’s a story as old as time; I, the unsuspecting wife, a victim to the salacious impulses of a man, whom I have loved dearly for nearly half a century. This man still embraces me on entry into our home. He still kisses my neck when he saunters by. He speaks of me fondly to his colleagues. I am an educated, proper woman who has aged gracefully. I am quiet. I am acceptable among his circles.
