The first night my husband came home after nearly three years away, he reached for me in his sleep and curled his arm around my waist with an intimacy that felt practiced—but not with me. “Who taught you to hold a woman like that?” I whispered. Daniel went completely still before saying, “If you’re smart enough to pretend you don’t know, you can keep being my wife.” By morning, I had stopped wondering whether my marriage could be saved. I started wondering how carefully I needed to leave it.
