I spent the whole week planning, cooking my favorite dishes, hanging fairy lights in the backyard, and even splurging on a chocolate raspberry cake from the bakery I loved. My husband, David, had seemed supportive at first. He helped me order drinks and even offered to pick up some extra chairs from his office.
