The truth, revealed at a bachelor party.
One night, I was at my best friend’s bachelor party. As the night wore on, everyone lost their inhibitions. When reminisced about old times, shared stories, and cracked jokes, one of the guys laughed and casually said, “Man, I still can’t believe Jill chose you. I was sure she was gonna stick with Sam when she got pregnant.”
At first, the words barely registered. I laughed it off, thinking it was just nonsense. But then the conversation changed. Others joined in, their words slurred but cuttingly clear. Apparently, Jill had been with Sam just before we got together. When she found out she was pregnant, she chose me, believing I would be the better option as a husband and father.
The room seemed to spin around me. I tried to dismiss it as empty chatter, but the seed of doubt had already been planted.
