I'm Leaving You. (Un)beautiful

“It’s a shame you weren’t with Vadik at Yan’s birthday. I wanted to find out about your orchids. I stood there going through things in the closet—and then I froze when I heard Lida, my good acquaintance.
‘What do you mean… With Vadik? Was he at the party yesterday?’
My hands dropped, and my heart started pounding fast-fast.
‘Well… yes, actually. He said you were busy and couldn’t come. So what?’
‘Were you not aware?’ I was not aware. My husband lied to me that he had evening extra work—and instead he went to his best friend’s celebration. And soon two reasons appeared that explained why he lied to me: He started to feel embarrassed about me because I don’t match the accepted beauty criteria. And he has someone else already—someone he’s fallen in love with to the point of being completely gone.”
