Starting Over at 40I married Mason Fleming, who comes from a prestigious family with a long line of lawyers, at 19.
For over 20 years, I devoted myself fully to our home by raising our child, keeping the household together, and supporting his career.
Now I'm 40, and he cheats on me.
Friends and relatives try to advise me. "Your husband is handsome and successful. He even lets you manage the money he earns. Compared to most men, he's considered one of the good ones."
In other words, they want me to turn a blind eye and continue playing the role of a "good wife" to maintain appearances.
But I can't keep up with the act anymore.
