Your husband is the most disgusting person on Earth to me. I want you to divorce him right now. We’ll help you with the baby.”
I was stunned.
“But you said you cheated on Mom and that I should stay?”
He let out a long, tired sigh. “I never cheated on your mom. I lied because I didn’t want you to go through all that stress while you were pregnant.
I just wanted you and the baby to be safe. Now that you’re both fine, we can deal with your husband properly.”
I still don’t know exactly how to feel about it. But that lie — strange, awkward, and unexpected — was probably the kindest thing anyone has ever done for me.
