As that stranger made that throw away comment, Charlotte was on the road to divorce – and her divorce will be as long as her marriage – after her husband left on the eve of their two-year wedding anniversary. She and her husband Kevin* had been together for 10 years total, since they were just 19. They were now deep into the planning of a dream three-month trip around Europe. They planned to start trying for kids before the year was out. “Then – boom! – one night, after asking me what I wanted for breakfast the next morning, he suddenly blurted out that he was done,” tells Charlotte. “He said he wanted out as he didn’t love me anymore.”
