Chapter 14 - Daniel Chooses Truth Over The Wedding Image
Six months after the wedding, Daniel and Tiffany made a decision.
They would remain legally married for the moment but live separately for
another six months.
No pregnancy plans.
No joint property purchases.
No family money.
They wanted to learn whether a relationship existed after removing the
fantasy lifestyle.
Friends thought it was strange.
Daniel no longer cared.
He posted no anniversary photographs.
Tiffany stopped performing happiness online.
They went to ordinary dinners.
Split checks sometimes.
Argued.
Told the truth more often.
At the end of the year, they chose to stay together.
Not because the wedding had to mean something.
Because the year after it did.
They signed a postnuptial agreement with separate attorneys.
Tiffany received no automatic claim to Margaret’s property.
Daniel disclosed his trust accurately.
Both disclosed debts.
Margaret was not in the room.
That was important.
Daniel later told her:
“For once, I handled my own marriage.”
Margaret smiled.
“That sounds expensive.”
“It was.”
“Good lawyers usually are.”

They laughed.
Their relationship had changed too.
