A man who divorced his wife of 47 years begs for her

After 47 years of marriage, my husband said he wanted a divorce and “freedom.”
He even booked a Mexico trip with our joint savings.

So I let him think I was broken.

Behind the scenes, I learned the truth: he hadn’t filed for divorce. Everything was still in my name.

I froze his cards. Changed the locks. Separated accounts. Sold the things he loved more than me.

Then I posted a smiling dinner photo and wrote, “I’m starting to like my freedom.”

When he came back angry and pounding on the door, I stayed calm.

“You wanted to be free,” I said.

And I closed it.
