<\/p>\nWhen Nancy discovers a hidden letter in her husband David\u2019s laundry, her seemingly stable life unravels. The letter, written by David, invites a mysterious woman to celebrate their \u201cseven-year anniversary.\u201d What else will the dirty laundry reveal?<\/p>\n
Laundry was just another Mom thing in our household. David helps out with the kitchen and the kids \u2014 but the laundry and the bathroom are two things he will never tackle.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t do the hair in the drain,\u201d David said, grimacing when I asked him to take over the chores.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s my hair. And our daughter\u2019s,\u201d I chuckled.<\/p>\n
It didn\u2019t make sense to me. None of it did. David and I got married when we were very young \u2014 almost straight out of high school. Despite the usual bickering that married couples went through, we were good. We were strong.<\/p>\n
Until I found that note.<\/p>\n
I thought about all the times that we had argued \u2014 sure, it was uncomfortable at the time, but we went through everything together and always came out better. I thought about all of David\u2019s late nights, and the business trips.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I remembered the one evening, as I sat in bed eating a bowl of ice cream, David packed his things into a suitcase.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll just be away for the weekend,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere are you staying?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt a hotel,\u201d he answered immediately. \u201cBut I\u2019m not going to be alone. One of the guys will be sharing a room with me.\u201d<\/p>\n
I nodded. I trusted him; he had never given me any reason not to.<\/p>\n
Now, I sat back in my chair, and watched as David fought himself not to reach out and comfort Isabelle. He had a pained look on his face, with his fists clenched tightly.<\/p>\n
That hurt me the most. The fact that my husband cared enough for this woman, wanting to reach out to her \u2014 in my presence.<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t feel that our marriage was over. But that was the moment that my heart broke completely.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll begin the divorce process,\u201d I told David, picking up my handbag.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou need to explain this to the girls; I\u2019m not going to.\u201d<\/p>\n
As I left, the restaurant faded into a blur. The night air felt colder as I walked to my car. I had faced my betrayal. But I knew that I had a lot to work through.<\/p>\n
I just needed to be strong for my girls. I knew that the divorce would wreck them, and our family. But David had forced my hand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
