I had no clue that my trip with my husband, Luke, would result in a moment that would change my life. In an attempt to revive our relationship, I had spent months organizing this vacation.
But from the beginning, something didn’t seem right. Luke always made excuses when I asked him to snap a photo of me or with me.
He would respond, “Not now,” or “Can we do it later?” As the journey progressed, I attempted to ignore it, but it started to sting.
I discovered his phone unattended one day. I was broken by what I saw. He made nasty remarks about my looks in a group chat with his pals, mocking my weight and our holiday pictures.
I shared some of our trip photos online with the comment, “Looking for a new travel companion,” since I felt deceived. The message was obvious, and my friends gave their support.
