My Husband Came Home with His Leg in a Cast the Day Before Our First Family Trip — Then One Phone Call Changed Everything

The night before our first family vacation, my husband came home with his leg in a cast—so I believed him.

He said he’d been in an accident and told me to take our twin girls without him. At the hotel, I got a call saying he had faked the injury to avoid the trip and told me to go home.

When I returned, our house was filled with expensive new furniture—and he was walking just fine.

He admitted he lied because he “needed space.”

So I shared the truth with our family.

That’s when I realized:
He didn’t want a break.
He wanted an escape.
