My Husband Forgot To Hang Up — I Heard What He Really Thought Of Me, So I Planned A Surprise He Would Never Forget

One afternoon I called to ask if he’d make it home for dinner.

“Probably not,” he snapped. “Can you stop checking up on me? I’m working.”

I swallowed the hurt. “Okay. Love you.”

He didn’t answer.

I set my phone down beside Maya’s bottle — and that’s when I noticed the call timer was still running. I was about to hang up when I heard it.

A woman’s laugh.

Then my husband’s voice, low and comfortable in a way he never used with me anymore.

“She’s driving me insane. Texting pictures of the baby, asking when I’ll be home… I just want her to leave me alone.”
