How a relationship ended, was very important.
Though many people did not like the process that led up to the demise of their relationships, Deacon was now realizing just how essential that phase was. That realization came to him all thanks to none other than his soon-to-be ex-wife.
They had not fought, there had been no cheating, no gambling, no getting, both of them into debt, no constant fights, no belittling, there had been nothing to show him that their marriage was on the rocks. If Haley had told him during that twelfth month as a mere couple that she wanted to end things, then Deacon would have at least been able to tell himself that the marriage was ending because it had reached the end of its agreed-upon lifespan.
But they were six months in, six months, and Haley had decided to walk away from it all.
She had walked away on the night that he had decided to confess his love to her.
