I'd been with Leroy Carter for three years, and in all that time, he never stopped seeing other women. "We agreed when we married, didn't we?" he said. "We each do our own thing." On the ninety-ninth time he left me for one of them, I finally decided to walk away. Leroy thought I was just being dramatic and told me I was petty. I looked at the guy beside me. "Do you think I'm petty?" He pulled me into his arms. "Of course not, Hazel. You've always been the understanding one." Later, when a video surfaced of someone proposing to me, Leroy finally lost his composure. He searched for me like a madman, desperate to know where I'd gone. But this time, I, Hazel Reed, wasn't looking back.
