There was no shouting match, no explosive fight—just a quiet shift I hadn’t seen coming: new suits, longer hours, and an obsession with image and influence. When he finally spoke, his tone was calm, almost rehearsed.“I’ve outgrown this,” he said, glancing around at the life we’d built. “I need someone who fits where I’m headed.” Someone younger. Someone shinier. Someone who made him feel important again. In that moment, fourteen years of memories—dinners, holidays, private jokes—vanished like…
