I Chose Divorce After His Surgery
My husband was not fully conscious from anaesthesia after waking up from surgery, and he started spouting nonsense.
I laughed while recording his comical reaction, but while helping him into a chair, I paused when I heard him calling for his son.
"Be a good boy, all right? Daddy is busy."
My smile froze, and I was stunned.
We had been DINKs for 10 years. When did he get a son?
My hands trembled as I turned on his phone. It was the first time I was looking through his phone in our years of marriage.
When I browsed the phone’s data, I found a private album filled with intimate photos of him with another woman and a child.
It was a boy who looked very similar to him, and the timestamp on the photos indicated that the boy was three.
All three of them were smiling happily, but their smiles hurt me.
He had once told me with conviction that he hated kids and did not want to be tied down by family, which was why he convinced me to be a DINK.
However, I now knew that he was not really sincere about being a DINK; he just did not want to have kids with me.
