I went up to the master bathroom as my husband was getting out of the shower. I handed him the phone and said, "She called." "On our second anniversary, he came home agitated and extremely stressed. I don't think I'd ever seen him that upset. He told me that our marriage wasn't working and that I deserved more than he could ever give me...He also said that he was probably gay." "He kissed me every day before leaving for work and told me he loved me, but the distance continued to grow between us. There was an unspoken tension. It came to a head one night at Wendy's...He blew up and yelled some profanity at me. He had never spoken to me this way in our relationship. I realized something was very, very wrong. I knew this fight had nothing to do with chicken sandwiches." "Our love of the church was no longer a priority for him either. What was once the foundation of our relationship was no more. I wanted God and the Catholic Church to be our guide. He refused this after we were married. He became completely apathetic to church and explained that the only reason he ever went was to please me. Eventually, he completely withdrew from me, my family, and even his family, escaping into his work."
