My Wife Kept Asking Me What I Would Do If She Disappeared

My wife kept asking what I would do if she disappeared. At first, I thought Ellen was asking a strange hypothetical question. We had been married for thirty-one years, and nothing in our ordinary life suggested she was planning to leave. Then I found her looking at an apartment only twenty-five minutes from our home. Ellen said she didn’t know whether she wanted to end our marriage. She knew she needed to live on her own for a while. As we finally began to talk, I discovered how many plans I had assumed we shared—and how often she had said yes when she meant something else. Could time apart help us hear each other again, or would it show that we were happier living separate lives? An emotional, realistic story about a long marriage, unspoken needs, difficult conversations, and the courage to say what you actually want. What would you do if your spouse asked for six weeks alone after thirty-one years together?
