Husband is Lovelorn: I am Not the One He Wants to Break Up with

When she catches her husband, Jack Harper, sobbing secretly under the covers late at night, she can only conclude one thing: he is suffering from a massive heartbreak. Recently, Jack's behavior has shifted drastically; he has abandoned his phone, stopped working late, and suddenly started showering her with uncharacteristic sweet talk. Convinced that another woman has broken his heart, she turns to an online forum, asking her internet peers how to comfort a married man who has just been dumped.

It felt like a knife to the heart.

A raw, bleeding kind of hurt.

I kept my game face on, though.

Over time, Jack's focus had shifted away from me.

When did I first catch wind of it?

Was it when I barged into his office and caught that young, hot secretary making moves on him, then "accidentally" falling right into his arms with a kiss?

Or when a tipsy Jack came home escorted by some random chick with her lipstick all over his collar?

Or now, with the shy newbie snagging all his attention?

...

Too many red flags.

I didn't even need detectives or snoops.

Looking at Jack now felt like staring at a stranger.

He was always generous, and never tightfisted with me.

And I was all happy to play along.

Love doesn't numb the pain.

Money does.

But lately, money's lost its appeal.

I found myself gently touching my belly.
