I destroyed my marriage three months after the wedding.
Even now, years later, admitting that still makes something twist painfully inside my chest.
People always imagine betrayal as something dramatic — a passionate affair, a secret love story, two people running toward each other because something beautiful pulled them together.
Mine wasn’t beautiful.

And afterward, I did what cowards often do.
I buried it.
Or at least I tried to.
Then, four weeks later, I found out I was pregnant.
I remember sitting on the bathroom floor staring at the pregnancy test while my hands shook uncontrollably. The room felt too small. Too bright. My heartbeat sounded louder than my own breathing.
