No Love In This Life, No Foolishness In The Next Life

After 20 years of marriage to Harvey McCarthy, I suddenly decided it was time to end this lifeless, dull relationship.

The night before filing for divorce, I prepared a big meal. Watching Harvey mop the floor, I had the urge to remind him to be careful – there was a lipstick stain on his shirt, likely from the woman he’d been seeing.

But I didn’t say anything in the end.

Instead, I asked the question I had wanted to ask for years, “Harvey, after all this time, did you ever love me?”

“NO.”
