1 Minute That Ended My 10-Year Marriage
Marriages are about trust, love, and shared experiences, but sometimes a few brief moments can make everything change. For me, ten years of friendship were broken down to a minute when everything fell apart.
The Moment
It was just an ordinary evening. We sat on the couch together in mutual stillness, flipping through our phones. That very moment, he received a message. A little notification that would change our lives forever one day.
It had become an automatic action to have a glimpse on their screen. My heart skipped a beat when I saw that name — a name I had never heard of before — along with certain notes pointing towards a link I wasn’t even aware of yet. Time seemed to have halted. As I gathered the gist of the betrayal that was happening right in front of me, those sixty seconds seemed to go on for ever.
