Before we got married, I had my two dogs, Max and Bella, who are like my children. Tom knew this and seemed to care about them too.\n\n\n\n</p><p>A month ago, I had a two-week work trip. Tom assured me, \u201cDon\u2019t worry, I\u2019ll take care of Max and Bella.\u201d\n\n\n\n</p><p>Shortly after I left, my mom texted me, asking if everything was okay with the dogs. She sent a picture of Max and Bella tied up outside, looking sad. Alarmed, I called Tom. \u201cWhy are Max and Bella tied up outside?\u201d He casually responded, \u201cI just thought they needed some fresh air.\u201d I insisted he bring them inside immediately.\n\n\n\n</p><p>Despite Tom\u2019s reassurances, I couldn\u2019t stop worrying. My mom later found the dogs tied up again and took them to her house. Unable to focus on work, I cut my trip short and returned home. Confronting Tom, I said, \u201cWhy did you leave them tied up out there?\u201d He replied, \u201cI thought it would be good for them to be outside.\u201d\n\n\n\n</p><p>Angry and hurt, I realized Tom didn\u2019t respect my feelings or my dogs. I packed a bag and went to my mom\u2019s house.\n\n\n\n</p><p>The next day, I called a lawyer to file for divorce. \u201cI can\u2019t do this anymore. You need to find somewhere else to stay,\u201d I told Tom. A few days later, he was gone. Sitting with Max and Bella, I knew I made the right choice. They are my family, and anyone who can\u2019t accept that doesn\u2019t belong in my life.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"</p><div class='\"mh-excerpt\"'><p>I\u2019ve been married to Tom for three years.
