My husband ended our eighteen-year marriage somewhere between dinner and bath time.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

I was standing at the kitchen counter cutting apples into little half-moons for Ben, our two-year-old, because apparently apples only taste acceptable to him when they\u2019re shaped correctly.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Daniel walked into the kitchen after work.<\/p>\n

He loosened his tie.<\/p>\n

Dropped his briefcase near the back door.<\/p>\n

Then, in the same calm tone someone might use to mention the weather, he said,<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s not turn this into a scene. I\u2019m leaving. I\u2019m with Claire now.\u201d<\/p>\n

For a second, I honestly thought I had misunderstood him.<\/p>\n

Maybe he said he was calling Claire.<\/p>\n

Maybe he was leaving early tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Something normal.<\/p>\n

Then the knife slipped from my hand and hit the cutting board.<\/p>\n

\u201cClaire?\u201d<\/p>\n

Daniel looked tired.<\/p>\n

Not ashamed.<\/p>\n

Not frightened.<\/p>\n

Not even especially guilty.<\/p>\n

Just tired.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy sister Claire?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n

I stared at him.<\/p>\n

He sighed.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease don\u2019t start screaming.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t said anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know how this is going to go, Jenna.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThen explain it to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

My voice sounded strangely calm.<\/p>\n

\u201cExplain how my husband of eighteen years ended up sleeping with my younger sister.\u201d<\/p>\n

He rubbed his forehead.<\/p>\n

\u201cA little over six months.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSix months?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t plan it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople always say that after making dozens of decisions that somehow lead to the same hotel room.\u201d<\/p>\n

His face tightened.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThen what was it like?\u201d<\/p>\n

He glanced toward the hallway.<\/p>\n

The house was loud.<\/p>\n

Two of the older boys were arguing over the bathroom.<\/p>\n

Ben had woken up upstairs and was crying.<\/p>\n

Sam and Leo were fighting over the television remote.<\/p>\n

Our dog, Biscuit, was barking at absolutely nothing.<\/p>\n

Daniel listened to all of it.<\/p>\n

Then he said,<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m tired.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTired of what?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis.\u201d<\/p>\n

He gestured toward the noise.<\/p>\n
