Husband Threatened Divorce

Packing to fly to Pakistan to see her husband, a wife mentions her period has started, and he threatens divorce unless she sees a fertility doctor.

Stains

The suitcase was open on the floor when my husband asked whether I had gotten my period.

I was in the UAE, preparing to fly to Pakistan the next day. Half-folded clothes covered the bed, my passport rested near the zipper of my carry-on, and every ordinary object in the room seemed to point toward the same thing: tomorrow, I would finally see him.

Long-distance marriage had taught me to measure life in departures and arrivals. A visit was never just a visit. It meant calendars, tickets, time away from work, and the hope that a few days together might make the months apart feel less heavy.

So when he asked the question, I did not think it was dangerous.

“Yes,” I told him. “It started.”

His mood changed so quickly that, at first, I wondered whether I had misunderstood him.
