“Come to my wedding with Claire and bring the girls. Your invitation includes a plus-one, but we both know you don’t have anyone.”

That was very Max.
We had been married for nearly thirteen years and had two daughters when our marriage ended. Max had become increasingly critical of my appearance, and his words slowly affected the way I saw myself. After our separation, he quickly announced that he was going to marry someone else.
I could have skipped the wedding, but our daughters were attending, and my oldest kept asking whether I would be there. So I decided to go. When I noticed the invitation allowed me to bring a guest, I had an idea. I wanted to walk into that room feeling confident instead of wondering what Max thought about me.
That was how I ended up standing beside my coworker Edward on Monday morning.
