When Dani realizes that her marriage with Nathan is on the rocks, she accepts that his new job opportunity may be the fresh start they need. But when they move, Dani learns the truth about Nathan. For the past nine years, I\u2019ve been in what I thought was a loving marriage. Nathan and I had married young, straight out of high school. All we knew was each other.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll grow together, Dani,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019ll study and build up careers together.\u201d I believed him. And for the longest time, it seemed that Nathan stuck to his promises,Two years into our marriage, we had Ellie, our daughter. Now, 7 and feisty, she\u2019s the light of our lives. But for the past few years, I\u2019ve begun to watch my marriage fall apart in front of my eyes. Nathan criticized my appearance. \u201cYou\u2019ve just let yourself go, Dani,\u201d he said. \u201cAlways in those frumpy clothes. Do you think that you\u2019ll keep the spark alive like that?\u201dHe accused me of not being a good enough mother because I worked too much \u2014 although I worked from home.<\/p>\n
Ellie was always around me, except she when was at school. \u201cYou\u2019re always behind that computer screen. Do you even give Ellie enough attention? It doesn\u2019t seem like it. She\u2019s always alone when I come home from work.\u201d At first, I used to retaliate. I would speak my feelings to Nathan. But eventually, I just tired of fighting with him. \u201cDo what you want,\u201d I said one evening as I went to put Ellie to bed. Things took a turn when Nathan suddenly became more tolerable. He was nice. At first I attributed it to him getting a new job offer in another city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
