The Divorce That Brought Us Back novel Chapter 54

"But we've been together for so long. I always knew I was going to be his wife. I've never even looked at another man. Who else would I marry?"

"Besides, the engagement party is in ten days, and the wedding is in six months. The venue is booked, the invitations are out, and our families have exchanged gifts. I can't turn back."

"I'm just so scared..."

Nora listened quietly as Jasmine poured her heart out.

Once the tears had finally stopped, Nora spoke softly. "Jasmine, don't base your fears on someone else's failed marriage. And never let the sunk cost fallacy make decisions for your life."

"Focus only on yourself. Do you still love him? Do you want to spend the rest of your life with him? Can you tolerate the way he treats you right now?"

"No matter what you choose, Cassidy and I have your back."

Cassidy's explosive divorce battle with Parker had deeply shaken Jasmine.

It was the root of her cold feet.

But everyone's situation was different. You couldn't lose faith in love just because your friend's marriage fell apart.

By the same token, the amount of time invested in a relationship shouldn't dictate whether you stay.

Even if they were childhood sweethearts.

It shouldn't factor into the equation.

A good relationship wasn't built on longevity. It was built on the person's character, their values, and whether their heart was truly in it.

If she was miserable, was she really supposed to throw her entire future away just for twenty years of history?

After Nora spoke.

Jasmine fell silent.

She stayed quiet for a long, long time.

Venting was easy, fueled by impulse and hurt. But once the tears dried, reality set in. Walking away was never as simple as it sounded.

It was perfectly normal.

Women naturally invested more of their souls into love.
