While my mother was waiting for emergency surgery, I begged my husband to send me $30,000 from our joint account. He promised he would. The money never came. Instead, I discovered he had spent the exact same amount celebrating another woman's birthday. That should have been enough to end my marriage. Then I found a hidden album on his computer. Ninety-nine photos. Five years of secret trips, hotel rooms, kisses, and birthdays with the woman he swore I never needed to worry about. The oldest photo was taken four days before our wedding. I didn't confront him. I printed all ninety-nine photos, placed them beneath a copy of the filed divorce petition, set my wedding ring on top, and sent the box to his birthday table. Then I left.
