HUSBAND: \u201cYou\u2019re divorcing me? After 30 years together?\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

WIFE: \u201cYes! I\u2019m divorcing you.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

HUSBAND: \u201cBut why? I love you, Kelly, I always have, and I NEVER CHEATED ON YOU, not ever!\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

WIFE: \u201cThat\u2019s true! You never cheated and you never drank or gambled.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

HUSBAND: \u201cI did NOTHING and you\u2019re divorcing me? Are you having an affair?\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

WIFE: \u201cNO! I\u2019m not! Do you want to know why I\u2019m leaving you Zack? When you\u2014\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

“…when I had that cancer scare last year, and I sat in the waiting room alone for five hours because you said you ‘didn’t want to waste a vacation day if it was a false alarm.'”<\/b><\/p>\n

Zack stammered, “But… it was<\/i> a false alarm! I was right!”<\/p>\n

“That’s the point, Zack,” she said, tears streaming down her face. “You were right. You’re always logical. You’re always ‘good’ on paper. But you aren’t kind<\/i>. And you aren’t a partner.”<\/p>\n

“I realized in that waiting room that I have been alone for 30 years. You didn’t cheat, no. You did something worse. You ignored me while staring right at me.”<\/p>\n

“I’d rather be actually single than married to a ghost.”<\/p>\n

She dropped her wedding ring on the table. It made a hollow sound, just like their marriage.<\/p>\n

“I want to be loved, Zack. Not just ‘kept’ like a reliable appliance. Goodbye.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
