My ex-husband is five years older than me and lives in the city. Back then, he was an average worker, but to me, he was everything.
I was against my younger son getting married. Not because I didn’t like his girlfriend, but because he was still too young. At just 27, he had finally found a good job, but he was already convinced he could support a family. Due to his personality, he never liked
I moved to a new city to attend college and eventually found a job there. After graduation, I met Jake at a local coffee shop. Six months later, my life took an unexpected turn.
“I think it would be best if we sold our homes and bought a big one for the whole family,” suggested Mark. “Dad, I can’t do that. This is where we lived with Mom for years,” replied Sarah.
My name is John. My ex-wife, Lisa, and I were married for 25 years. I was the breadwinner, and she took care of our home. I never wanted her to work; I was happy she was there for our family.

I always wanted the best for my daughter, hoping she would marry into a wealthy family. But when she chose John, a man with little to his name, I was devastated. I never imagined how our lives would change.
