Gone
Twenty years of marriage, twenty years of building a life together. Buying houses and cars. Now she is gone.
For twenty years, she was my everything. The smile in my morning, the sunshine in my day. But now it is dark and quiet.
One argument led to cruel words. Cruel words led to hurt feelings. Hurt feelings took time to heal, but heal they did. Things returned to normal for us. Life continued for us as a couple. Then it happened.
One episode of indiscretion, it wasn’t such a big deal. Deal breaker, she said. She is never coming back.
