For weeks, I had been watching my husband Henry rush out the door every time his ex-wife, Liz, called. A broken garage door, a leaky sink, even a squeaky banister no matter how small the issue, he dropped everything for her. Meanwhile, our own bathroom faucet had been dripping for a month.
When I asked him to fix it, he always said, “This weekend, I promise.” But the weekend never came, because Liz always seemed to have another “emergency.”
At first, I tried to shrug it off. After all, Henry insisted it was “just business” since they still co-owned the house. But deep down, I started to wonder if she was manipulating him and if he was letting her.
One night, when Liz called about her “flooded kitchen,” Henry grabbed his toolbox and headed for the door. This time, I stood up and said firmly, “I’m coming with you.” He froze, surprised, but didn’t argue. The drive was silent, and I could tell he was nervous.
