Melanie has spent more than a year feeling forgotten, ignored, and taken for granted by Ryan, the husband who once shared the work of raising their sons.
He missed her birthday for a wild weekend in Las Vegas with his best friend and came home with another woman's underwear in his suitcase.
The find makes his betrayal look like an affair, yet the trouble in their marriage is not cheating.
Ryan has fallen into a midlife crisis of extravagant sports cars, restless new hobbies, and evenings given to friends instead of family, and his poor judgment has driven his wife away.
With their sons off at college, Melanie is ready to see a divorce attorney and finally stand up for herself.
She finds her backbone, he has to recover the man he used to be, and an eventual happily-ever-after still lies ahead of them.
