My Dog Suddenly Became Very Attached to My Wife – When I Found Out His Reason, I Got Divorced
“No… this can’t be right,” she sobbed. “It has to be a mistake.” “We’ll do it again,” I said, my voice hollow. “We have to be sure.” We repeated the test twice more, each time clinging to a sliver of hope that the first result had been wrong. But each time, the answer was the same. Alicia wasn’t carrying my child. I finally confronted her about it, and she confessed that she’d had an affair. The news hit me like a sledgehammer, shattering the fragile remnants of my trust.“James, please,” Alicia pleaded, tears streaming down her face. “It was a one-time mistake. I swear it meant nothing.

But instead of bringing it back to me, he trotted over to a woman sitting on the grass with the ball clutched in his mouth. “Well, hello there,” the woman said, laughing as Rocky dropped the ball at her feet. She had bright, friendly eyes and an infectious smile. “Sorry about that,” I said, walking over. “He usually returns the ball to me.” “No problem at all,” she replied, giving Rocky a pat on the head. “He’s adorable.
