My husband, Mark, always said he was proud of me. At first, I believed him. I thought his compliments about my looks were loving.<\/p>\n

But over time, I realized he didn\u2019t admire me\u2014he displayed me. Short skirts, tight dresses, plunging necklines\u2026 he loved parading me around so his friends could \u201csee what he had.\u201d<\/p>\n

I tried to ignore the discomfort, telling myself it was harmless. But at his friend Tyler\u2019s summer pool party, everything changed.<\/p>\n

Before we left, Mark tossed a tiny bikini onto the bed. \u201cWear this,\u201d he said casually, as if it weren\u2019t barely two pieces of fabric. \u201cMark, this is too much,\u201d I protested.<\/p>\n

He laughed. \u201cRelax. You look amazing.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Don\u2019t be shy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shy wasn\u2019t the word. Exposed. Humiliated.<\/p>\n

Objectified\u2014that was closer. At the party, the moment I stepped out, I felt eyes on me. Men stared openly.<\/p>\n

Women whispered behind their sunglasses. Mark put his arm around me with a proud grin, like he was showing off a trophy. I tried to shrink into myself, but he kept pulling me closer, telling me to \u201clighten up.\u201d<\/p>\n

I thought the night couldn\u2019t get worse\u2014until Tyler, his closest friend, approached me while Mark was inside grabbing drinks.<\/p>\n

He lowered his voice. \u201cYou know he doesn\u2019t treat you right, right?\u201d<\/p>\n

I blinked, unsure if I heard him correctly. Tyler sighed.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe bets on you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe makes wagers with the guys about what he can get you to wear, how long it takes before you get uncomfortable\u2026 stuff like that. Today\u2019s bikini? Part of the bet.\u201d<\/p>\n

For a moment, the world went quiet.<\/p>\n

The laughter, the splashing, the music\u2014all of it faded as the truth hit me like a punch to the chest. Mark didn\u2019t love me. He used me.<\/p>\n

When Mark returned, smiling as if nothing was wrong, I looked at him differently. And for the first time, I didn\u2019t shrink. I stood up, grabbed a towel, wrapped myself in it, and said, \u201cWe\u2019re done here.\u201d<\/p>\n

His smile dropped instantly.<\/p>\n

But I didn\u2019t care. Because that was the moment I decided: I would never be someone\u2019s trophy again. I\u2019m staying at my sister\u2019s now and talking to a lawyer.<\/p>\n

Am I wrong for wanting to divorce him over this?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
