At dinner, my husband smiled at a message from the woman he once loved, then answered her while I sat across from him. Soon, his phone kept lighting up with her name, old restaurants, private memories, and conversations about the life they might have had. It wasn't the first time Julian had a reason for letting her back in-every boundary I raised somehow came with another exception. This time, I stopped asking him to understand and began quietly taking back the parts of my life I had always arranged around our marriage. He thought I had finally stopped caring about his past; he didn't realize I had started questioning my place in his future.
