My Husband's Baby Wasn't Mine to Wait For

My trainer husband was impotent.

That was why, every time I asked to sleep with him, he'd just raise a hand and say, "No."

Even knowing today was our wedding anniversary, he still grabbed his pillow and moved to the guest room.

I knew the truth. He wasn't impotent. He just didn't want to touch me.

I'd begged him once, small and humbled.

"I only want a child. Just one. That's all."

He didn't so much as lift his eyes.

"Now isn't the time for a child."

Even my friends asked me about it.
