After 15 years of marriage and three kids, my husband suddenly asked for a divorce. He said I had changed and wasn’t the woman he fell in love with. I was heartbroken but stayed strong for my children. Later, I found out he had left me for our former babysitter, Annie.
Instead of falling apart, I focused on myself—joined a fitness class, made new friends, and slowly rebuilt my confidence. Word got out about his affair, and people began distancing themselves from him.
Eventually, Annie left him for someone richer, and he came crawling back, full of regret. Even his mother begged me to reconsider. But I had already moved on. I told him to leave—because this time, I chose me.
