On Our Anniversary, My Husband Publicly Announced His Affair

It was our wedding anniversary, and the manager of the farmers' market had treated all the stall owners to a movie.

It was a small gesture, thoughtful even—a brief distraction from the usual grind, a break in our routine. For a moment, I thought it might be a nice night, something different.

No drama. Just a moment of peace.

But as I stood to leave, the lights dimmed in the small backroom theater, and the screen flickered to life with footage of my autistic husband, Luke Chandler.
