After Craig’s accident, I was terrified I’d lose the man I loved. His injuries were serious, and recovery meant round-the-clock care. Exhausted from managing everything alone, I finally hired a nurse, Emily, to help. For weeks, Craig groaned in pain while Emily calmly updated me on his slow progress.
Then one afternoon, Emily lingered at the door, visibly shaken. “I can’t stay quiet anymore,” she whispered. She had caught Craig walking—normally, confidently—before he collapsed back into bed to fake weakness. Worse, she’d overheard him bragging to his mother about scamming me.
Heartbroken but composed, I laid a trap. I caught Craig on video laughing with his mom, calling it a “vacation” and planning to milk it till Christmas. I filed for divorce that same day. When I handed him the papers, I said coldly, “You can walk yourself out.”
He begged for forgiveness, but I was done. Emily stayed on—not as a nurse, but a roommate and friend. I rebuilt my life without lies or manipulation. In the end, Craig lost the one person who truly cared for him—by pretending not to need her.
