I got divorced and moved overseas. My ex-wife immediately married her new guy. During the wedding, a guest said one line that made her lose it, and then she called me.
She screamed at me over balsamic vinegar in front of guests.
That’s when I stopped loving her. Six months later, divorce papers under a salt shaker.
Me on a plane to Lisbon. She remarried fast.
Vineyard wedding.
Perfect, until one guest toast destroyed everything. And she called me screaming. I was 4,000 miles away, finally breathing.
My name’s Raymond Cole.
I’m 54 years old. And six months ago, I did something most men my age only fantasize about during the pandemic.
I divorced my wife of 28 years. Liquidated everything I could carry in two suitcases.
And moved to Lisbon, Portugal.
No dramatic confrontation. No shouting match in the driveway. Just divorce papers under a coffee mug, my house keys on top, and a note that read,
“Everything’s yours.
I’m gone.”
I was a commercial real estate developer back in Denver.
Built strip malls, office complexes, the kind of structures that make cities look the same from coast to coast. Good money.
Respect in the community. A beautiful house in Cherry Creek that my wife Catherine decorated like a magazine spread.
From the outside, we looked perfect.
From the inside, I was suffocating. Catherine worked as a luxury real estate agent. She sold multi-million dollar properties to tech executives and oil money.
And somewhere along the way, she started believing our life should match the lifestyle she was peddling.
