30. CHOOSE A BRIGHT FUTURE
I knew something was wrong. The way my wife was acting let me know something was off. I asked her directly if she was having an affair and she denied it. She suggested we go to marriage counseling. It made me think I was doing something wrong, and I felt guilted into thinking that counseling could save my marriage.
Then, I started catching her in lies during our sessions. We attended counseling for about a month and a half and it didn’t feel like we were making any progress. Later that week, I had enough and logged into her Facebook.
When I looked through her inbox, my heart dropped. I found conversations between her and someone I suspected and there was no longer any denial. I called her crying, but she was annoyed at me and hung up. I made a promise not to waste another day. I went to the bank, took out my savings, and called my boss to arrange a transfer.
By the end of the day, I was packed and moving towards my future. I ended up remarrying a woman with two kids and I couldn’t be happier. All I ask for in a relationship is trust and honesty. Don’t settle for anything less.
