FORTY-THREE

Nothing had gone the way he thought. He was certain that once they got married, she would want to stay home. He made good money—great money. She didn’t need to work. Isn’t that what women wanted? Find a man to take care of them so they could stay home and look after the house? His mother had done that, and she had been perfectly happy to do so. His father’s word was law and no one questioned it. The house was always spotless, his clothes neatly pressed, breakfast on the table the same time each morning, dinner on the table the same time each night. It had been a wonderful way to grow up.

But she didn’t want that. So she continued to work, to spend time doing things that didn’t include him. And he hated it. All he could think about was all those men hitting on her, all that temptation.

How long would it be before she looked at him and thought she could do better? Though it was his ring on her finger, that question haunted him daily. It made him crazy to have those thoughts jabbing into his brain like a boxer on the rampage.

Then she mentioned having a baby. That had sent him screeching over the edge. He could barely stand to share her with her friends or her family; if they had a baby, he’d lose her forever. The baby would take all her time; the baby would consume her and she would forget all about him. And that was when the fear really set in. He was sure she was plotting to leave him. He’d even read through her diary, thinking he would find a clue there, but nothing. The pages were filled with nothing but love and adoration for him.

He didn’t buy it though. He couldn’t. As much as he tried, he just couldn’t. And even though he knew he shouldn’t act so irrational, shouldn’t pepper her with constant questions about what she was doing and where she was going and who she was with, he just Could. Not. Help. Himself.

Why couldn’t she just devote herself to him the way he had to her?
