Loved Him First, But Not Forever
I found out my husband, Logan Atkinson, had quietly added his secretary's number to our family plan.
[Dear customer, the number ending in 8848 has been successfully added to your family plan. Effective immediately, all calls between plan members are free.]
I held up my phone and looked straight at Logan. "You're treating her like family. What does that make me?"
He sounded annoyed. "Regina said staying on the phone with me every night was getting expensive. If she's on the family plan, it doesn't cost anything. She's just used to saving money. Don't read into it."
Regina said she had severe depression and couldn't fall asleep, so Logan stayed on the phone with her every night for at least seven hours.
I stared at the call logs in the family plan.
Even on our wedding anniversary, when I closed my eyes, wishing we would make it through another ten years and grow old side by side… He was still on the phone with Regina Dittman, coaxing her to sleep.
When I didn't say anything, Logan looked a little surprised.
"Wow. Quiet today? Finally learned how to be the bigger person?"
I just didn't feel like arguing with them anymore.
All those fights before had only proven one thing: he always chose Regina.
After ten years in a broken marriage, it was time to set things straight.
