Enraged, I gave him an ultimatum: cancel the play, or we would divorce. Jonathan chose the play, and our marriage ended.
Months later, Jonathan’s play was a failure. He returned, apologetic, but I had already moved on. I began to rebuild my life and even considered going back to school.
When Jonathan received a job offer in Chicago, I encouraged him to take it, knowing it was time for both of us to move forward.
Life may not always go as planned, but sometimes, the unexpected paths lead us exactly where we need to be.
