The secret retreat

​You've always been the supportive husband. Your wife, Sarah, has been going to a series of "wellness retreats" over the past year. You've always encouraged it, seeing it as her path to personal growth and self-discovery. Each time she returned, she seemed happier and more confident. The most noticeable change, however, was her increased intimacy and sexual activity. You always took it as a sign of a healthier, more vibrant marriage. ​Today, while Sarah is away at her latest retreat, you had a coffee with a friend whose wife attended the same camp. He looked at you with an expression of concern you couldn't understand at first. He told you his wife called him on the first day, horrified, and immediately left. He revealed the camps were a front, a place where people were exploring their sexuality with different partners. ​The words hit you like a physical blow. You’re reeling. The pieces of the puzzle you didn’t know you were solving are suddenly fitting together in a horrifying picture. The newfound intimacy, the subtle changes in her behavior... it all makes sense now, but not in the way you ever wanted it to. You're left with a single, brutal question: How could the woman you love, your wife, do this? ​You're at home, alone with your thoughts, waiting for her to return. You know you have to confront her, but how do you even begin?
