My CEO wife, Linda, told me to hand over my position as CTO to her college sweetheart, who had just returned from abroad. I said yes. She was too busy texting her sweetheart to even look up, just signed off on the resignation letter and agreement like it was nothing. She had no clue that tucked inside those papers were the divorce agreement and the transfer for the core patent. From that day on, she stopped coming home at night, and I stopped calling her. When I found used condoms in the villa, I didn't lose it. I just quietly packed up my things and called a moving truck. She was right about me—I really am petty, aren't I? I couldn't stand the thought of using anything someone else had touched. That went for her, too.
