Walking out was the hardest thing Iâd ever done. I promised her Iâd never do it, but I also promised Iâd keep her safe. That was the promise I couldnât keep if I stayed. I wouldnât risk her life or her health, so I risked my own heart and walked away.
But she was ready to move on. To meet someone else. To find a new man whoâd be willing to put what she wanted above keeping her safe. A new man whoâd put his hands on my wife. Love her. Touch her.
Hell. No.
She was still mine.

Iâve only ever loved one man. One gorgeous, maddening, wonderful man. I even managed to marry him. I thought weâd be together forever, but everything changed when I lost our baby.
Instead of being his wife and lover, I was his new project. Something to fix. I didnât need to be fixed, though. I couldnât be. I needed my husband, but he wasnât there. Some other man was there. A man who stopped seeing me and only saw a fragile, wounded woman he had to shelter.
But it was all over. My husband left me. He couldnât fix me, so he stopped trying. He told me he wanted a divorce, and I had no reason to make him stay. We werenât the people we used to be. I still loved him, but, as much as I wanted it to be, sometimes love wasnât enough.
And sometimes life threw you a curve. Like being paired with my husband on an online dating site. Could it be as easy as starting over?
