The day after our wedding, my husband, Howard Rivers, posted a sweet couple photo with his childhood sweetheart, Charlotte Quinn. Caption: [Childhood friends to lovers. Jealous yet?] I calmly tapped "like" on the post. Seconds later, the photo disappeared. Then my phone rang. Howard's voice was ice-cold as he held a sobbing Charlotte in his arms, scolding me in front of his entire family. "How can you be so petty and jealous, Olivia? Can't you even take a joke?" Before I could answer, he hung up. By the time I refreshed the page, their profiles had completely changed to a matching couple of photos, hearts everywhere, the whole fairy-tale romance on full display. A year ago, I would have rushed over, tears streaming down my face, demanding an explanation. But this time I was just tired. Really, deeply tired.
