Nine Divorces, One Last Stand

Five years. Nine court dates. One thousand eight hundred and twenty-five days of a marriage on trial.

Today, my husband, Mark Thompson, filed for divorce for the ninth time.

As if his infidelity with Sarah Miller wasn' t enough, he stood in court, tears in his mistress' s eyes, dramatically presenting a positive pregnancy test and declared, "It's time for Chloe to let me go."

But I had proof. A grainy surveillance video from our living room, showing Mark, drunk, begging me not to leave, then savagely biting my earlobe in a desperate, animalistic act of possession.
