I thought it was funny when my husband came home with another woman and said he wanted her to be his second wife. But when I saw that he was being serious, I told him I would agree as long as he met one condition. He wasn\u2019t expecting that state to happen.
\nToday I\u2019m ready to talk about what happened a week ago, something I never thought I\u2019d say.
\nThings started going wrong a few months ago when my eight-year-old husband Jack started acting strangely.<\/p>\n
We were no longer lovers, but our marriage was strong. That\u2019s what I thought, anyway.<\/p>\n
The changes in Jack\u2019s mood were slow at first.<\/p>\n
He had always had a lot of thoughts, but all of a sudden he started talking about \u201calternative lifestyles\u201d as if he had found a new way to live.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know,\u201d he said one night as he scrolled through his phone, \u201csome people are really into living in strange ways.\u201d \u201cIt makes you think about what does and doesn\u2019t work.\u201d<\/p>\n
I asked, \u201cLike what?\u201d<\/p>\n
He said something like, \u201cOh, I don\u2019t know.\u201d \u201cJust\u2026 things to help life along.\u201d<\/p>\n
I thought he meant something nice, like simplicity or one of those eco-friendly ways of living.<\/p>\n
The thing is, Jack always jumped right into the latest trends. He was crazy about woodworking at one point, and he swore he\u2019d open a food truck at another.<\/p>\n
It always died out in the end. I didn\u2019t think this time would be any different.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
