I know I’ve kept more from her than I ever wanted to, well aware that honesty is gold and communication is key. But God, have I had my reasons. Because I know my wife. If I told Freya about my problem, I know exactly what she’d do. She’d shelve her plans, dim her hopes. Go back on the pill, reassure me we could defer pregnancy… Silently, it would crush her. And I’m not in the business of crushing my wife.
