“I made my husband the scallops he'd always loved, a special dinner in the home built from my designs. But when he came home from the firm that runs on my talent, he recoiled from my touch. He sneered at the food, claiming to hate seafood now. He told me I was stagnant, unlike his young intern, Bria, who makes a simple steak. His parents, our dinner guests, agreed. They told me a man's tastes evolve and I needed to keep up. As if on cue, Bria arrived at our door, holding a steak for him. They sat her in my chair, and his mother told her she would make a wonderful addition to the family. In that moment, I understood. After eight years of my name being erased from every blueprint, of being gaslit and belittled, I was being replaced. They didn't see me as family; I was just a tool that had become obsolete. When my husband dismissed my breakdown as a "tantrum," something inside me went cold. After they left, I packed my bags and my encrypted design portfolio. Then I texted his biggest competitor: "I've left Donte. I'm looking for a new job. I have my portfolio."”
