Post Views: 38 “I need space.” Three simple words that shattered twenty years of marriage on a Tuesday evening at Giovani’s, our favorite restaurant—not “I’m unhappy,” not “we need to talk,” but the coward’s prelude to abandonment, delivered between the chicken parmesan and tiramisu. Robert didn’t even have the decency to meet my eyes when […]
