I Thought My Marriage Was Normal – Not Perfect Like on Instagram, but Stable. There Were No Fights, No Jealousy, No Odd Signs. He Didn’t Hide His Phone, Was Never Late, Never Changed His Routine. I Never Suspected a Thing. The Woman He Left Me For Worked With Him – She Was Younger, Single, No Kids. I’d Met Her a Few Times, Even Had Her in My Home Once for a Work Do. She Seemed Friendly, Nothing Unusual. Then, on a Friday Night, He Came Home, Put His Keys on the Table, and Said We Needed to Talk. He Told Me He Didn’t Love Me Anymore, That He’d Met Someone Else, That He Was Leaving – It Wasn’t My Fault, I Was a Good Wife, but She Made Him Feel Alive. He Packed a Bag and Left That Very Night. No Arguments, No Attempts to Fix Things. The Next Few Months Were the Worst of My Life – No Steady Income, Bills Mounting: Rent, Utilities, Food. I Sold Things from the House—Some Days I Ate Only Once. Sometimes I Turned Off the Gas to Save Money. I Cried, but I Had to Keep Going. I Struggled to Find Work—No Recent Experience or Qualifications. Out of Desperation, I Made a Pudding and Sold It to My Neighbour. Then I Made More and Offered Them on WhatsApp. I Walked Around Selling Them. Sometimes I Sold Nothing, Sometimes I Sold Out. Slowly, People Started Seeking Me Out. I Baked Desserts at Night and Delivered Them in the Morning—First Just for Groceries, Then Bills, Then Rent. It Wasn’t Quick or Easy. It Was Months of Exhaustion, Little Sleep, Living on the Edge. That’s Still My Life Today. I’m Not Rich, But I Manage. I Don’t Rely on Anyone. The House Isn’t the Same, But It’s Mine. He’s Still With the Woman He Left Me For. I’ve Never Spoken to Him Again. If I Learned Anything, It’s How to Survive When There’s No Other Choice—Not Because I Wanted to Be Strong, But Because No One Else Was Going to Do It for Me.

My marriage always seemed ordinaryhardly the perfect fairy tale you see splashed across social media
