“Are you insane?” He reached for my phone. “Delete that right now!”
I backed away, clutching my phone to my chest. “You said I couldn’t come to bed until I apologized.
Well, I did. Goodnight, honey!”
I ran upstairs and locked our bedroom door, ignoring the buzzing of my phone and the sound of Chris consoling his crying mother downstairs. Through the door, I could hear fragments of their conversation:
“She’s always been jealous of our relationship…”
“I don’t know what’s gotten into her…”
“Maybe we should look for marriage counseling…”
I don’t know if what I did was right or wrong, but I do know this: some people won’t respect your boundaries until they face consequences for crossing them.
As for what happens next? Well, that’s a story for another day! Do you have any opinions on this?
