Dead Bedroom

My ex was emotionally, physically, and supportively neglectful. We were in a dead bedroom for seven years and he arbitrarily decided to “retire” at 50 with three kids, 12-and-under at home — the youngest with special needs — and would run, tail tucked, from anything involving emotions. Talking to him about anything was futile. My resentment was at an all time high so I had an exit affair and yes, I would do it again.
