Jane’s honeymoon glow quickly faded when she overheard her husband Wayne and his friends mocking her. “Jane’s a downgrade compared to Nicole,” Wayne said, revealing his shallow view. He added that if Jane lost weight, he might reconsider. Shocked, Jane retreated, hurt and questioning her worth.
Despite her pain, Jane decided against immediate divorce. Instead, she focused on self-improvement, hitting the gym and embracing a healthier lifestyle—not for Wayne, but for herself. As she transformed, Wayne noticed and showered her with gifts, believing her changes were for him.
On their first anniversary, Jane planned a dinner with Wayne’s friends. As they celebrated, she revealed her true intentions. “I’m filing for divorce,” she declared. “Wayne thought I was a downgrade and wanted me to change. I did this for myself, not for him.”
Wayne’s pleas for forgiveness fell on deaf ears. Jane informed him about the prenuptial agreement, which entitled her to half of his assets if she divorced within the first year. “I don’t want your money,” she said, “but I will take enough to start anew.”
Jane packed her belongings, secure in her decision. The marriage had ended before it truly began, leaving Jane ready to move on to a new chapter of her life.
