When I surprised my husband Jonathan at work with his favorite dinner, I learned he hadn’t been employed there for months. This revelation unraveled our 20-year marriage and set me on an unimaginable path.I packed Jonathan’s favorite lasagna, garlic bread, and tiramisu, thinking he needed a pick-me-up after weeks of late nights. At his office, the security guard informed me Jonathan hadn’t worked there for three months. Shocked, I confronted him the next morning.
Jonathan pretended to go to work as usual, so I followed him to a café where he met several women. That evening, I confronted him with photos. Jonathan admitted he quit his job to direct a play, using $50,000 of our savings. I was furious. “Cancel the play and return the money, or we’re getting divorced,” I demanded. He refused, prioritizing his dream over our family’s future.
