- 6.
When Brittany first came back, Greg’s mom
told him not to do it
く
He was happy with me. He shouldn’t hurt me
for someone who hurt him before.
But he said to his mom, “I can’t stand looking
at her.”
“She tries so hard to act fancy, but it’s so
fake.”
“My friends make fun of her, but she doesn’t
even know. She looks like a hooker in those
expensive dresses.”
“I don’t see any grace in her.”
But he was the one who picked out that
dress.
He said I looked beautiful.
<
He taught me everything I know about
etiquette.
He used to say he loved that I was different.
But then it became a problem.
I was afraid of embarrassing him, so I
stopped going out.
And then I wasn’t a good wife, because I
didn’t help him.
I took classes to learn about high society, but
then that was a problem too.
I couldn’t do anything right.
“Why aren’t you saying anything? You see?
Eight years, and you still can’t give me a kid.”
“If it wasn’t for Mom, I would have divorced
you a long time ago!”
Yeah, eight years, and no kids.
We’ve tried.
But he’s not interested anymore.
He hasn’t slept in the same bed as me in
forever.
But even when he was, he didn’t want kids.
He knows I want a baby, and that I can’t have
one.
It’s my biggest insecurity.
He always knows how to hurt me, how to
<
one.
It’s my biggest insecurity.
He always knows how to hurt me, how to
make me look bad.
To prove that he’s right.
That I’m just a crazy woman.
But today, it’s like I’m free.
“Okay, let’s get a divorce right now.”
I looked at Greg and saw the shock in his
eyes.
