AFTER MY AFFAIR CAME OUT, MY HUSBAND NEVER TOUCHED ME AGAIN. HE DIDN’T SCREAM. DIDN’T HIT ME. DIDN’T LEAVE. HE JUST TURNED ME INTO A GHOST IN MY OWN HOUSE. FOR EIGHTEEN YEARS, WE LIVED SIDE BY SIDE LIKE STRANGERS WHO SHARED BILLS AND AIR BUT NOTHING ELSE. I TOLD MYSELF IT WAS FAIR. I TOLD MYSELF IT WAS MY PUNISHMENT. THEN A DOCTOR LOOKED AT MY CHART, LOOKED AT ME, AND SAID ONE SENTENCE THAT BLEW THE WHOLE THING OPEN: “SUSAN… IF YOU HAVEN’T BEEN INTIMATE IN EIGHTEEN YEARS, THEN HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THE SURGICAL SCARRING?”

I FOUND OUT MY HUSBAND WAS CHEATING BECAUSE SOME WOMAN TEXTED HIM ABOUT ME AND CALLED ME “STUPID.” I PACKED A BAG AND WAS READY TO WALK. THEN THE DOORBELL RANG. IT WASN’T MY HUSBAND. IT WAS A MAN STANDING IN THE RAIN LIKE HE’D WALKED OUT OF A DIFFERENT KIND OF NIGHTMARE. “I’M JULIAN CROFT,” HE SAID. “YOUR HUSBAND IS ON MADISON AVENUE RIGHT NOW BUYING MY WIFE A BIRKIN.” THEN HE LOOKED ME DEAD IN THE EYE AND SAID, “DON’T DIVORCE HIM YET. WAIT THREE MONTHS.” AFTER THAT, HE HANDED ME A CHECK FOR $150 MILLION. THAT WAS THE MOMENT I STOPPED THINKING ABOUT LEAVING QUIETLY.

I SEND MY MOTHER 1.5 MILLION PESOS EVERY MONTH TO TAKE CARE OF MY WIFE AFTER SHE GAVE BIRTH. I THOUGHT SHE WAS RECOVERING IN PEACE WHILE I WORKED. THEN ONE DAY THE POWER WENT OUT AT MY OFFICE, I CAME HOME EARLY, AND FOUND MY WIFE IN THE KITCHEN EATING A BOWL OF OLD RICE MIXED WITH FISH HEADS AND BONES LIKE SHE WAS AFRAID SOMEONE WOULD CATCH HER. THAT SHOULD’VE BEEN ENOUGH TO BREAK ME. IT WASN’T. WHAT I LEARNED NEXT WAS WORSE.
