On Our 12th Anniversary, I Accidentally Saw a Strange Message on My Husband’s Phone — When I Dug Deeper, I Knew I Had to Act
“Already missing the way you smell.”That was the message I saw on my husband’s phone — from someone named Claire — on our 12th wedding anniversary. I had just reached for my keys to pick up the kids from school. Jason was asleep on the couch, snoring with a half-eaten container of Thai food resting on his chest. It had been a peaceful day. A rare one. We’d both taken the day off, ordered takeout from our favorite Thai place on Fifth Street, and spent the afternoon just… being us.
