After the 100th Disappointment, I Choose Divorce

1.

Declan Vance has worked in Chicago for eight years.

Every time he drives back to our home in Naperville from downtown, I have dinner ready and waiting.

Even though I know he always stops to see his "first love"―Sienna Miller―before coming home to me.

Every time he visits her, he promises me some kind of compensation.

It became a routine. A transaction.

Until last month, when he gave the company’s only transfer slot for the Chicago headquarters to Sienna.

I didn’t scream. I didn’t cry.
