What few belongings she had were loaded into my SUV and we drove off hoping this would be a new joyous beginning. I talked, and talked, and talked for...the first hour. I kept babbling about how happy I was to see her and get her home. Robbyn nodded a few times but didn’t say much. I thought I was annoying her so I turned the radio on low volume.

He claimed I liked the things he bought for us, and I really did (who wouldn’t?), but that’s not the whole story. We would argue like most husbands and wives do. We both.
