I did all I could for my husband, but he always seemed unhappy. One morning, I woke up to voices in the hallway along with a woman’s voice. “How could he?” I thought. That was the final straw for me.
I work as a project manager at a bank, and our newest project has been the toughest so far. I often came home late and sometimes had to work on weekends.
I have a house and a husband to look after, but my husband isn’t as helpful as he once was. He doesn’t cook, doesn’t help with chores, and hardly goes grocery shopping. I end up doing nearly everything.
Aiden didn’t seem to hear me when I talked about my problems. One evening, I got home at 9 pm, and the first thing he said was, “Where have you been?”
“I had lots of work today. I told you I’d be home late.”
“You didn’t tell me!”
“Yeah, actually I did! A few times! It’s about this project I’m working on.”
Aiden replied with “Whatever Claire! I’m hungry! Are you making dinner or not?” while watching soccer.
“I don’t think there’s much food left… We need to go shopping,”
“I’ll wait then; you can go,” he said without taking his eyes off the TV.
So I took my wallet and left.
“Why did it take so long? I’m starving!” Aiden complained when I got back. Rushing into the kitchen to make dinner while he ate in silence before returning to watch TV again left me cleaning up alone.
Can’t he even wash his own plate? It made me feel frustrated but too tired for an argument so i just cleaned up and went to bed.
“You’re late… Where’s breakfast?” were Aiden’s first words instead of “good morning.”
I went into the kitchen again; Aiden was readying himself to leave saying “Never mind; you’re too slow! I’ll be late.” Then slammed the door behind him!
I made some tea with honey & lemon then returned back to bed feeling sad trying hard remembering when Aiden started treating me like this…
But honestly couldn’t recall last time Aiden helped or supported me in any way at all… Even if wrong he’d find ways putting blame on me instead of taking responsibility.I cried myself asleep that night…
“Get out; she might be home…” whispered Aiden one day.. “It won’t work today.” Getting up quietly opened door shocked seeing beautiful brunette standing there!
“Dear,” she said sweetly,“when will we meet again?”
“On weekend.I’ll start fight with her & we can escape for two days,” replied Aiden casually
“That sounds awesome!” she squealed hugging him tightly
“Shhh keep it down…!”
Stunned by what saw,I returned back into bed deciding needed teach him lesson…
As soon as Aiden left house felt relief called someone change locks apartment now mine!
Then gathered all his things packed them suitcases boxes checked around house ensuring nothing belonged him remained…
Spent whole day packing until heard doorbell ring.Aiden stood outside asking“What happened lock? Why don’ keys work?”
“You didn’t even say hi!”
“What is this?” pointing at his stuff confused.“What’s going on Claire?”
“This is where you leave,Aidan.I’m done.Take your things & go with your mistress!I’m filing divorce.”
Aidan stared blankly saying “Who is she? Where’s quiet wife who did everything wanted?”
“Aidan,I know everything.You don’t love anymore.Just used Go away don’t come back won’t forgive!”
He looked shocked replying “Fine leaving but you’ll regret this!” Called cab grabbed belongings stormed out…
Next day filed divorce finalized month later.Aidan tried talking several times refused every time…
Since that day he’s gone I’ve felt like new person.Taking care myself loving myself never letting anyone disrespect anymore
