Abstract

I agreed to my husband’s demand that we be child-free. Then, at forty-five, he changed his mind.

He fell for a woman ten years younger than me. The most important thing was, she could still give him a child. He used every weapon in his arsenal to force a divorce, leaving me with nothing.

I hated him. I hated him so much that the thought of sharing the same patch of earth with him felt like a desecration.

Decades later, our hair was white, our faces etched with the maps of our lives. We met again in a nursing home. He was there visiting a friend, his grandson in tow.
