Chapter 12 - Daniel Ended The Marriage Carefully
Daniel did not annul his marriage in a dramatic courthouse scene.
He hired an attorney.
Tiffany hired one too.
They separated.
They attended counseling individually.
Months later, Daniel decided to proceed with divorce.
Margaret did not tell him what to choose.
That was important.
Tiffany had slapped Margaret.
Tiffany had concealed Charles’s interest in the land.
Those facts mattered.
But Daniel’s marriage belonged to Daniel.
He eventually told Margaret:
“I kept asking whether she could change.”
Margaret listened.
“Then I realized that wasn’t the question.”
“What was?”
“Whether I could trust the relationship we actually had.”
He could not.
Tiffany did not fight the decision endlessly.
Perhaps she had changed too.

Not enough to repair the marriage.
Enough to stop trying to force it.
