Lena had been dreaming of becoming a mother since she was a little girl cradling dolls in homemade blankets. She and her husband, Josh, had been \u201ctrying\u201d for nearly two years\u2014calendar tracking, ovulation tests, supplements, doctor visits. She wept quietly every time her period came, and Josh was always there with soft reassurances and forehead kisses: \u201cWe\u2019ll get there. Maybe next month.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

They never got there.<\/p>\n

One lazy Sunday afternoon, while watching a documentary about IVF, Josh chuckled and said, almost offhandedly, \u201cHonestly, I\u2019ve been relieved. I mean, I haven\u2019t exactly been trying that hard.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Lena turned slowly. \u201cWhat does that mean?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Josh gave a half-smile, as if confessing a minor sin. \u201cI\u2019ve been pulling out most of the time. I just\u2026 I didn\u2019t think it was the right time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

She felt her lungs lock up. \u201cYou told me you wanted this. You told me you were trying with me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Josh shrugged. \u201cI thought I did. But the more I saw how stressed you were getting, the more I felt like we weren\u2019t ready.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The betrayal wasn\u2019t just the lie. It was the performance. The sympathy. The months she blamed her own body. The nights she cried in the bathroom, blaming fate, biology\u2014never once suspecting the man who held her hand through it all was quietly sabotaging every step.<\/p>\n

Lena didn\u2019t scream. She stood up, walked to the bedroom, and began folding clothes into a bag. Josh followed her, babbling apologies, saying it didn\u2019t mean he didn\u2019t love her.<\/p>\n

She zipped the suitcase with finality. \u201cLove doesn\u2019t look like this,\u201d<\/em> she said quietly. \u201cYou didn\u2019t just rob me of time. You robbed me of trust.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

And with that, she left. Not because she didn\u2019t love him, but because she finally remembered to love herself more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
