[Outside the ICU, my son's life or death was uncertain, so I handed my husband a divorce agreement.
In seven years of marriage, he was absent 187 times. I manage my emotions as a project, and the KPI shows: my emotional account is bankrupt.
I initiated a "100-day bet" - I will not divorce until my marriage is repaired, or else my son will sign after he recovers.
He is a silent restorer of ancient buildings, and I am a rational business consultant.
We all thought this was a cold "bankruptcy liquidation", but in each other's hidden folders, we glimpsed unspoken concerns.
When the countdown to the bet ended, he added a clause to the agreement: "If successful, it will automatically become a lifelong partnership and the contract cannot be terminated."
It turns out that the highest level of business war is to make the rest of your life "not for sale" to each other.
