I told my best friend Taryn that I was scared my marriage to Graham might be ending. I made her promise to keep it private. The next afternoon, my mother-in-law called and ordered me to leave before Graham got home. Taryn swore she hadn\u2019t told anyone, then invited me to stay with her.<\/p>\n

Days later, I went to my mother-in-law\u2019s house for answers and saw Taryn sitting inside. Graham found me soon after and showed me her messages. She had told him I\u2019d been planning a divorce for weeks and urged him not to answer my calls. As we compared what she\u2019d told each of us over the years, we realized she had repeatedly turned our private worries into words of rejection.<\/p>\n

When we confronted her, Taryn admitted she felt she lost me whenever my marriage was going well. \u201cI wanted you back,\u201d she said. I left her house and told her I needed distance.<\/p>\n

Graham and I still had real problems, so I didn\u2019t move home that night. We began counseling and learned to talk to each other directly. Three months later, I still didn\u2019t know whether our marriage would last\u2014but I knew the choice would be ours.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
