She was young. Attractive. And newly widowed. And far too interested in my husband. What began as neighborly kindness turned into something else... and it was impossible to ignore. Despite all the warning signs, I wanted to believe my husband remained faithful to me. This is a true story about obsession, entitlement, and the moment I stopped being a doormat for the widow next door, and quit pretending my marriage was fine. Written by a real person - the wife who wanted to believe her husband wasn't cheating on her. No AI was used to write or create any part of this book. (Formerly titled "The Wicked Widow," now updated and edited to tell the full story.)
