Luckily, I decided to divorce and wouldn't be hurt by his actions and words anymore.

Next, I moved to Eva's house with my luggage.

Ian began to have no scruples. He took that woman to various events.

Before this, I was the only one who accompanied him to events.

Because of this change, many people speculated that there was a problem with our marriage.

When Eva told me about these things, I was still negotiating prices with a buyer for my bags.

I was indifferent to her words.

She got anxious and said, "Are you really going to sell all the bags and jewelry Ian gave you?"

"What else can I do? I can't leave this marriage with nothing."

He did not want to divorce now.

I would go through legal procedures for a forced divorce.

If things got ugly, I might get nothing but a divorce certificate.

I had not worked for four years. Without money, how could I survive?

"You are really clear-headed." Eva praised. "But I never thought Ian would cheat. He loved you so much before."

"What is love? Life is so long. Who can guarantee to love one person for a lifetime?"

Saying this, I rarely felt relieved.

My dad's situation was an example.
