You Had This Divorce Coming Novels & Stories

“You removed my access. You removed my decision-making power. You slowly erased my role in something I co-built with you until I was no longer part of it in anything but name.” Her breathing deepened slightly. “And somewhere in that process, I stopped being your partner.” Silence pressed in again. Then she continued softly. “That is when I filed for divorce.” Matthew’s eyes dropped briefly to the paper in his hand again. The word divorce no longer felt abstract. It felt like something that had already been lived through without his awareness. Ava spoke again, almost as an afterthought, though it was anything but casual. “But you never signed it.” Matthew remained still for a long time.

He clearly was not accustomed to apologizing or making concessions. "This is a small token. As for the divorce, perhaps we could reconsider..." I looked at Kieran. I could not figure out what was going through his mind. Perhaps for the sake of his business empire, he was not ready to give up such an excellent "marriage partner"? The divorce was definitely happening. But from a business perspective, even with a divorce, there was no need to make things too ugly. No point fighting him when there was money on the table. While I hesitated, a soft voice suddenly interjected with perfectly calibrated surprise and familiarity.

I cut her off. “And now he's divorcing you.” Silence. I heard her breathing change. “How do you know?” “He told me.” My mother's voice became smaller. “He's leaving me.” “Yes.” “You're pleased.” “No.” That was the truth. Whatever I thought about my mother, watching her marriage collapse wasn't something I celebrated. “I don't care about your divorce.” “You should.” “Why?” “Because he's going to come after you.” I frowned. “What?” “You think this ends with him leaving me?”

Mom patted me on the shoulder and asked gently, "What's the matter, Henry? What happened?" I hurriedly wiped my face and started tossing the things Jasmine had brought out the door. "I don't need your kindness. Jasmine, and I certainly don't know what you're trying to pull coming to my house today. You barely came by the last few years, so you definitely don't need to start now. You haven't forgotten we're divorced, have you? "You kept drifting toward your younger brother while you were married to me, and now that you're divorced, you thrust yourself into your ex-husband's home. Do you have some kind of sick fetish, Jasmine?"

"It hasn't happened yet, even my divorce is still undecided. When the wedding is near let's talk about what I should and shouldn't do around you, what makes you comfortable and uncomfortable with me. Things that will help me deal with you." As I talked about it seriously, the laughter on her face disappeared, replaced with a smile that seemed to try to understand and soften me. "Your divorce will happen. There's no need to worry about it and think otherwise, so don't be afraid to imagine that you'll be completely separated from him. Because you will."

“Mom, don’t tell me that you believe this story. It’s not true, you know that!” She continued. “He most likely won’t want to stay married to you after this.” “We’re getting divorced, actually.” I hadn’t signed the papers yet, but I was starting to think that John would never be willing to change his mind. “Well, that’s just great!
