I sold my engagement ring today.

I hope its next owner lives happily ever after.

Seven years ago, I divorced. The whole thing came crashing down one evening, when I found my husband’s other life online. A different name, a different personality, and a different sexual orientation, even. It was a shock, to say the least.

I was already out of love with my husband, who had become distant, cold, and cruel. There are worse things than living with a workaholic, I said to myself. Little did I know what he was really working on.
