    out of my retirement, Becky, but when I told him about it he just shrugged it off. I called and told them to close the damn account! You have no idea how unhappy I am and how much I hate being over there.” Becky shook her head and said, “No, I don’t know how it is, but I’m pretty sure I have an idea of how you’re feeling; betrayed.” “Oh God, I’m sorry! I had no business….” Cassie looked frantic. Becky reassured her, “Hey girl, don’t worry about me. I’ve had a couple of months to get used to Dave’s betrayal and the kids are both by my side now. I hired a great lawyer who survived a nasty divorce and a cheating husband. I’m going to be fine. I’m worried about you now, Cassie. I’ve never seen you like this, and we’ve been neighbors for a long, long time.” They spent about an hour talking, and instead of feeling confused and alone, Cassie actually felt like a huge weight had been lifted.

Cassie was unbelievably calm as she stood in the doorway to his bedroom. “Can I talk to you, Mark?” “What?” “Would you mind looking at me?” Mark rolled over on the bed and seemed to look at Cassie, at the same time keeping an eye on the game. “Mark, I’ve been thinking about this for a long time.

The words he spoke answered every unasked question she had. “Do you think we can afford that?” Cassie turned around and went up to her bedroom. Within a week she had an appointment with a mediator and emailed Mark the date and time. At their first appointment, Cassie made it perfectly clear that she didn’t want anything from Mark. They had both worked and she felt they should be allowed to keep their own pensions, etc. He was entitled to half of their household belongings and they agreed that each could stay in the house until it sold. As cold as their marriage had become, the divorce agreement was just as cold and factual. Papers were filed and they were officially divorced within two months. It was uncomfortable, to say the least. Cassie made an appointment at her bank and found out she could afford to buy Mark out of their home. He didn’t have a problem with that, and she told him he could stay until the sale was finalized. Cassie and Mark had witnessed so many divorces amongst their friends, filled with innuendo, back-stabbing and name-calling, they agreed to keep their split quiet until the last moment.
