Subject: AM I Wrong for Thinking My Husband Was Having a Midlife Crisis When He Was Actually Doing Something Amazing?
Summary: Lately, my husband, Mark, has been acting distant—secret trips and late nights in his study. I thought he was having an affair. Then I found a folder with travel plans and emails mentioning “Catherine,” which made me more convinced he was hiding something.
I confronted him, shaking as I showed him the papers. But instead of a confession, I got the shock of my life. Mark revealed that he’d been working with Catherine, an art curator, to submit my old paintings to galleries in Europe. One was accepted, and the Paris trip was to celebrate my first exhibition.
Mark had secretly planned everything, gathering my artwork and meeting with curators while I suspected him of cheating. I feel guilty for jumping to conclusions, but was I wrong to think something was off?
