My husband (46M) left me (43F) for his "soulmate" yoga instructor who helped him "heal his inner child" — four years later, I saw him again and I almost felt sorry for him.
For 18 years, I was Mark's wife — his cook, his cheerleader, his unpaid therapist.
We built a life together: a house with yellow shutters, two teenagers, and a calendar full of soccer games and dental appointments.
Then came his "wellness phase."
He started wearing linen shirts, burning sage, and calling coffee "toxic energy."
At first, I thought it was harmless midlife nonsense.
Until he said:
"YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND, JULIA. YOU'RE TOO GROUNDED IN NEGATIVITY."
Negativity?
Because I didn't want to spend $600 on a "silent retreat"?
Then she appeared.
Amber — 31, a yoga instructor with endless legs and a tattoo that said "breathe." He met her at his "healing circle."
Soon, there were messages on his phone: "Your energy feels so aligned when we're together 💫." and "Your wife’s aura must be exhausting.😓"
He left me two weeks later — said he needed someone who "feeds his spirit."
Funny thing about the universe, though. It always finds balance.
We divorced. Four years passed during which he never visited our kids. Then, last weekend, I saw him and his "soulmate" again — at the grocery store.
For a moment, I almost felt sorry for him. Then our eyes met. ⬇️
