Minutes Before Our Honeymoon Flight, My Husband Announced That His Secretary Was Coming With Us Because “Business Couldn’t Wait.” She Arrived at JFK Wearing a Flowing White Dress, and He Expected Me to Smile and Accept It—So I Did. While They Were Checking In, I Quietly Canceled My Ticket, Told Them I Was Going to the Restroom, and Walked Straight Out of the Airport. Eleven Hours Later, My Husband Landed in Maui and Opened Our Honeymoon Suite Without Me.
