Jennifer found an email inviting her husband, Oliver, to a New Year’s party with a plus-one. Curious, she asked to attend, but he insisted it was a work event, dismissing her questions. On New Year’s Eve, Jennifer followed her instincts and went to the event, where she discovered Oliver with another woman.
The next day, she learned Oliver had been in a car accident, but his insurance lapsed. At the hospital, he begged her to sign papers for surgery, but she refused, realizing the depth of his lies. She walked away from him, determined to no longer clean up his messes.
Weeks later, she heard Oliver’s career was falling apart, but instead of feeling sorry for him, Jennifer felt liberated. She started living for herself, picking up old passions and focusing on her own happiness. The life she once lived as a dutiful wife was over.
