3. The Old Military Wives’ Tale
While deployed in the Navy for six months after getting engaged, I received a letter from my fiancée’s best friend revealing she had caught my fiancée with another man. We corresponded, and I learned my fiancée had begged her not to tell me. Upon returning to the States, I discovered from friends that my fiancée had been with multiple men and knew I was aware. We broke off the engagement without much drama, and she kept the ring. The best friend and I initially hooked up out of revenge, but it turned serious, and we’ve now celebrated our 32nd wedding anniversary.
