My wife and I had overcome a lot of adversity - failed pregnancies, health problems, periods of unemployment, peer pressure, parenting issues, misunderstandings, and the remnants of other failed relationships. I felt like we had won. We have a cozy apartment, we are healthy, ready for kids, we travel, we have a promising job. And then her “first love” shows up. Selfish, narcissistic, controlling. I was aware that they occasionally socialized, but I trusted her and knew she wouldn't allow betrayal. Where were my eyes. It turned out they had picked out her things together, gone for walks, kissed in the backseat and, as an apotheosis - five minutes to no sex in our apartment. She found the strength to chase him away. And I'm afraid I won't be able to trust her anymore. My world is shattered.
