For 10 Days, My Husband Claimed to Be Sleeping in His Car — I Thought He Was Cheating, but the Reality Was Crazier

When Nella notices her husband, Eric, acting a bit strange, she follows him to see where he goes off to. A few nights into this new routine, she decides to just ask him the truth. But the truth is deeper and darker than Nella could have expected. And it changes her life forever…

It all started when my husband, Eric, told me he needed some space to think things through.

We’ve been married for 12 years, and while we’ve had our share of ups and downs, this was the first time he’d ever said something like that.

 

It’s not about us, Nella,” he insisted. “I just need time to clear my head.”

But of course, my mind went to the worst possible place.

 

Eric was always the steady one in our marriage. He was reliable, grounded, and calm. So, when he packed a bag and casually mentioned that he would be sleeping in his car for a few nights, my anxiety went into overdrive.

Was Eric cheating? Was this his way of leaving me? Was this how he was going to slowly slip out of our lives?
