Do/Not

Do/Not

After five years of marriage, things just weren’t working between us—but divorce feels so final, you know? So we subscribed to this new company, Do/Not, allowing us to try out two different timelines: one in which we divorce, one in which we don’t. The divorced timeline has its advantages—I think we’re both happier in a lot of ways, as are the kids. In the timeline where we stay married, we’re both relieved, but (shocker) the same problems persist. So in that still-married timeline, I’m thinking of secretly going back to Do/Not and splitting that one into two too.
