When I got home the next day, I was writing at the table. After spending the day with Juana, I was really exhausted, so I skipped supper and went to bed.
My wife was still writing at the table when I woke up. I turned around and went back to sleep, not caring. My wife presented the terms of the divorce to me in the morning.
She requested a month’s notice prior to the divorce and wanted nothing from me. We would have to pretend nothing had occurred for a month, she asked me.
Her motivation was straightforward: she didn’t want to disturb our kid with our strained marriage throughout his whole month of exams.
I accepted, but she also asked. if she would consent to my carrying her to our room, just as on our wedding day. This alone was accepted, even though I believed she was going insane.
When I escorted my wife to the front door on the first day, we both felt horrible since we hadn’t had any physical contact since I announced my decision.
