I Compared His Size to My Ex — He Sent Me a Measuring Tape and Divorce Papers
When I told my husband during our argument that my ex was bigger than him, I thought it was just words said in anger. Three days later, I found a measuring tape on my pillow with a note that said, “Measure this.” And divorce papers underneath. Some words can’t be taken back, no matter how much you want to.
The fight that destroyed my marriage started at Jake and Emma’s housewarming party. We’d been having a perfectly normal evening with friends when Marcus walked through the front door. Marcus Rodriguez, my ex-boyfriend from three years ago, the man who had broken my heart so thoroughly that I’d spent months in therapy trying to put myself back together.
I felt my stomach drop the moment I saw him. Jake worked with him now, apparently, something nobody had bothered to mention when they’d invited us.
