CEO Windsor,Your Wife Wants Out
Ongoing · Louisa
Should women give up their careers to become housewives?
Now when anyone asks me, there's only one answer: absolutely not.
Seven years into marriage, my husband cheated on me. On his birthday, the kids looked up at him and said, "We want Heidi to be our mom."
That same day, I received my late-stage ovarian cancer diagnosis. In the hospital corridor, my husband was holding the children's hands, carefully helping Heidi with her discharge.
I'd never seen Arthur so gentle, never seen the kids so well-behaved—they looked like a perfect happy family, while I felt like a complete outsider.
In that moment, it hit me: the biggest mistake of my life was giving up my dreams for marriage.
I left the divorce papers on the kitchen table and walked back into my lab without a single glance behind.
Four months later, my research breakthrough made global headlines.
When my photo appeared on TV, Arthur rushed to my lab building with the twins, their eyes swollen from crying.
"Caroline, these months without you... my life has been stagnant water. I can't live like this!" He knelt in the rain, holding up our old wedding ring, begging for forgiveness.
"Mommy, we were wrong..."
