Divorce: Saying Goodbye

Pei Yao and I had known each other for twelve years. We grew up together as childhood sweethearts.

On our fifth wedding anniversary, he told me he was going on a business trip.

But I saw him carefully carrying a girl to the hospital, his face tense with a worry I'd never seen before.

When I caught him, he said, "I love you, but I love her too. Be the bigger person, and don't make things difficult for her."
