New House, New Dinner Guest, New Divorce
In the third year since my husband, Axel Kramer, starts working as a rideshare driver, we finally manage to buy a home of our own.
On the day we move in, he suddenly says to me, "Some friends want to come over for dinner tonight. I already said yes."
I'm someone who values boundaries and doesn't like outsiders coming into my home. Even when we host relatives, we take them out to restaurants.
"Can't we just go to a restaurant?" I ask.
He looks helpless as he replies, "I already suggested that, but Lindsay said it would be more fun if we hang out at home. She said we should liven it up in our new home. And since everyone knows I'm a good cook, she wants to try my cooking too."
One corner of my eye twitches with displeasure.
Lindsay Brun is the female driver he's mentioned the most over these three years. She's also the only woman in their rideshare drivers' group chat.
