WIFE: “…When you decided that just ‘not being a bad guy’ was the same thing as being a good husband. You think you did nothing wrong? That’s exactly it, Zack. You did nothing. You watched me raise our children alone while you sat on the couch. You watched me grieve my mother alone because you ‘didn’t know what to say.’ You watched me plan every holiday, pay every bill, and carry the emotional weight of this entire family for three decades. You didn’t cheat on me with another woman; you cheated me out of a partner. You let me be lonely in the same room as you for thirty years because you thought that as long as you didn’t hit me or drink, you were winning. I’m not leaving you for someone else. I’m leaving you so I can finally stop waiting for you to show up.”
