After My Car Accident, My Husband Kept Having Lunch With Another Woman—Until the Police Walked Up to His Table. After a serious car accident, I called my husband from the ER and asked him to come pick me up. He texted back, “I’m at lunch with my female best friend. I can’t just leave right now.” I replied, “Okay.” I didn’t argue—I just waited. Then a police officer walked into that same restaurant, went straight to his table, and said something that wiped the smile off his face. In that moment, my husband realized that leaving me there wasn’t just cold—it was a mistake.
