He Married Me, but Kept Making It Up to His Childhood Sweetheart

Synopsis

"She's already lost so much because of me. Do you really have to make an issue out of something this small?" My husband said this just after volunteering me to drive his childhood sweetheart to a job interview. Only the night before, he'd promised to stop interrupting my work. I asked, "What has she lost?" After a long silence, he finally admitted he'd promised to marry her when he was seventeen. So every time I turned down one of her requests, I was the one who wasn't being understanding enough. "Ethan," I said, looking at him, "it's not my fault you didn't marry her." He took my hand and told me I was the one he loved. Only later did I realize he could love me and still promise her-"Just this once."
