Married to My Bestie's Husband
He said that since I married him as a stand-in for my best friend, the failure of our marriage was understandable.
"Now, I want to pursue you openly, as yourself. Will you give me a chance to be your boyfriend? I'm a single father with a six-year-old son, but he's well-behaved..."
He rambled on, but I only said one word. "No."
He didn't give up. He kept sending coffee, buying gifts, tirelessly trying to win me over.
Five months later, I started dating someone new.
The boy was an intern at our TV station named Dennis Peters. He admitted he had admired me for a long time, calling me his idol.
