Midlife Divorce: Siding With My Mother-in-Law for the Win

Summary

I’d been with my husband, Jason, from when he had nothing to when he made it big. Then, he turned around and latched onto some rich heiress.

He said, "Tiffany Sterling is the only daughter of Sterling Corp’s chairman. She’s gorgeous and capable. That's the kind of woman who deserves me!"

"You? A washed-up nobody from the sticks, no money, no connections. Wasting my life with you is pointless. Let's get a divorce."

My mother-in-law, Sarah, finished her call, wrapped her old flip phone in a red plastic grocery bag, and asked me, "Are you sure about this?"

"Yes," I nodded.
