Husband leaves his sick wife to be with his mistress. She Acts When He Returns For Her Inheritance.
Silent war
I went silently through the days, trying not to give on that I had seen his behavioral change. Every minute seemed to be a quiet fight.
We only spoke when absolutely needed; his justification for late nights grew thinner and weaker, and I played the compliant, sleepy wife.
Still, deep down I was more attentive than I had ever been.

He had not disclosed the divorce records yet. We were living in two distinct worlds, his, in which I would never defend myself, and mine, in which I was getting ready to eventually leave.
Now, there was clear, deep conflict between us. His frustration was evident, waiting for me to approach him, challenge him, and provide the gratification of seeing me come apart.
