Congratulations on Your Affair

Synopsis

In our fourth year of marriage, Julian Thompson's young executive assistant launched their relationship on Instagram with a cozy photo. The caption read: [Here's to the rest of our lives together.] I tapped the heart icon. Instantly, the post was deleted. Barely a minute later, Julian called. I could hear him tenderly comforting his sobbing assistant before he pivoted to screaming at me, calling me petty and completely unreasonable. Once he hung up, both of their WhatsApp profile pictures updated to that exact same sweet, coupley photo. The old me would have stormed into Julian's corporate headquarters, flipped desks, and caused an absolute scene until they deleted every trace of those pictures. But this time, I was just so unbelievably exhausted.
