"y/n, we need to have a talk." my husband, josh, told me. my heart immediately began to race. unfortunately, i had a sense that told me what was coming. josh had been super distant lately, and i rarely ever saw him anymore.

"what's- is everything okay?" i asked him. he took a seat next to me on the couch.

"i'm filing for divorce. it's not you, i just..i don't love you like i used to when we were younger. i never meant for this to happen, i just can't be with you if i don't love you anymore, thats not fair to you. i'm sorry."

those were the words i had been expecting for three months. he no longer kissed me goodnight, and it was extremely rare for him to say i love you anymore. but even though i expected it, the words cut into me like a blade.

"you don't love me anymore?"

"i'm sorry. i really am."

"do...do i leave or do you?" i asked. if josh kicked me out, i had no idea where i would go.

"no, i'm not going to do that to you. i have a friend, she offered to let me stay with her." josh told me. i felt my eyes start to sting. her. as in he is going to stay with another woman.

a woman who apparently knew he was filing for divorce before i did.

"oh...okay. whenever you get the papers..send them." i said, my words were shaky but i didn't want to cry in front of josh. i had plenty of time to do that when he was gone.

josh packed all of his belongings and was gone, just like that. i devoted 8 years to loving that man. 3 years of dating and 5 years of marriage.

i remembered the day that tyler introduced us. tyler was my best friend throughout high-school. two years after he started a band, his band members left. but he met josh and he introduced us. we fell in love, had one of those relationships that you only found in books, but of course it could only end with a reality check. nothing good stayed good forever. that was for sure.

when josh left, i broke down into tears almost instantly. it wasn't fair. i loved him so much. why couldn't he just love me still?

i didn't move from the couch for the rest of the night. even when tyler called a few times, i just ignored it. i felt like i couldn't move even if i tried. i was being consumed by my sadness and heartbreak. i couldn't even get up to eat something for dinner.

the next morning, i got up to shower and then i ate a bowl of cereal. but i went right back to the couch. i still didn't touch my phone, which by then was going off every hour due to tyler calling me. even though he was my best friend first, i didn't want to accidentally jeopardize his band with josh.

around 3 pm, i heard my doorbell ring. i assumed that it could have been josh with the papers, so i just ignored it. he could just leave them in the mailbox. i just knew i definitely wasn't capable of seeing him at that moment.

when the door opened, that was when i shot up. it turns out it wasn't josh. it was just an extremely distressed tyler.

"y/n, thank God you're okay. why haven't you answered my calls? wait where's josh?" he asked me. i immediately broke down in tears. even the mention of josh was enough to make me cry.

"whoa, what's wrong?" tyler immediately fled to my side, pulling me into a hug.

"he- he left me. j-josh is filing for a divorce." i cried. tyler let go of me.
