My husband, Michael Grant, was desperate to divorce me because the woman he truly loved was about to have his baby. He filed for divorce on the grounds that our marriage had broken down beyond repair. In court, he presented one piece of evidence after another. We had slept in separate rooms for a year. We had always kept our finances completely separate. And, most importantly, he claimed that I had driven him into depression, and that if we didn't divorce, he would die. When it was finally my turn to present my case, my lawyer was frantically preparing our evidence while I managed to turn everything around with just one sentence. "Your Honor, I still love him," I said. Michael's eyes went wide. "What the hell are you talking about? I cheated on you!" I looked at him calmly. "It's okay. I can forgive you. The cheating doesn't matter as long as you're willing to come home." Michael was yelling. I wiped away my tears. "My love for you is my business. It has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to respond." He was completely stunned. Even the judge was so moved by my declaration of love that he denied our divorce. Meanwhile, the mistress was about to give birth.
