The Seventh Divorce_ I married the same man seven times. And he divorced me seven times for the woman he truly loved. When we first got married, he told me, "I'll love you—only you—for the rest of my life." But every time that woman returned to the country, he became a different person. "Can't you be more understanding? Do you really have to make Cara look like some homewrecker?" The first time we divorced, I slit my wrists, trying to make him stay. The ambulance rushed me to the hospital, but he never came to see me—not even once. After the second divorce, I stooped so low as to apply to be his assistant, just to catch glimpses of him now and then. By the sixth divorce, I'd become accustomed to packing up and moving out of our home on my own. My hysterics, my begging, my compromises—all fed into the same cruel cycle: he'd marry me again, only to leave the moment she returned. This time, I decided to end it all. When I found out she was coming back, I handed him the divorce papers myself. As usual, he set a date for our next remarriage, not knowing I was leaving for good.
