Breaking Away from My Wife on Our Anniversary

I had been married to Abigail for six years.

In those six years, she became the business genius everyone admired, the self-made queen who rose from nothing, while I became the stay-at-home husband people didn't openly mock but secretly looked down on.

On our wedding anniversary, she called to say she had an important client meeting and would be home late.

I smiled and told her it was fine. Then I headed to the supermarket, planning to cook a lavish candlelight dinner to surprise her.

But when I turned the corner, I saw her standing right by the shelves.
