The Neighbor’s Baby and My Wife’s Secret

My wife always said she hated children—until she suddenly fell in love with the neighbor’s baby. Every night, she stayed up late caring for him like he was her own, barely glancing at me.

When I got into a car accident and had surgery, she didn’t even visit. Didn’t call. Didn’t care.

I’d had enough.

So at the party celebrating my discharge from the hospital, I dropped the bomb.

“I want a divorce.”

Everyone went silent.

My friends and family stared at me like I’d lost my mind.
