Dani and Nathan felt they were meant to be together when they first met in high school. They got married after a few years and anticipated a happy life together. But after only two years of marriage, Nathan underwent a transformation.
Dani didn’t know if the two of them getting a baby girl had anything to do with that change. Ultimately, Nathan was a fantastic father, so that’s probably not why he was so critical of Dani.
He began to dislike the way she looked and advised her to take better care of it. He remarked, “Dani, you’ve just let yourself go.” “In those shabby clothes all the time. Do you believe that’s how you’ll maintain the spark?

Despite working from home and spending a lot of time with little Ellie, he also accused her of not being the best mother.
“That computer screen is always in your line of sight. Are you even paying enough attention to Ellie? It doesn’t appear to be. Every time I return home from work, she is by herself.
Since Nathan was never happy with anything she did, Dani tried her hardest to please him but eventually gave up.
Dani chose to let it go as she saw their marriage disintegrating because she lacked the strength to battle something that only existed in her husband’s imagination.
Nathan informed Dani one day that they had to relocate because he had a new job opportunity. Dani approved of the move to a different city because Ellie was in first grade and worked from home. In her heart, she hoped that perhaps the change would improve their marriage.

As the days went by and Ellie started attending a new school, Dani noticed that her daughter was becoming agitated when she came home. She even discovered her sobbing in her room one day.
“What happened, honey?” Concerned, Dani inquired.
“Miss Allen should not be my mother! You should be my mother, please! Ellie broke down in tears.
Dani felt a cold rush. Ellie’s teacher was Miss Allen.
She questioned, “Why would she become your mother?”
Ellie began telling her mother what she had heard over the past few days while crying, and as she spoke, she noticed that the burden on her shoulders was gradually easing.

When Dad came to get me from school yesterday, Miss Allen instructed me to wait by the door while she talked to Dad. Although I didn’t hear everything, I did hear her promise to be a better mother to me. She said that, and Dad laughed.
There was an affair going on with Nathan.
Dani made sure Ellie was asleep before pouring Nathan a drink that night.
“So,” she started. “Miss Allen and Ellie seem to get along great.”
He asked, his eyes brightening, “Really?” “Ellie liked her, I knew that.”
“Enough for her to have Miss Allen as her new mother?” Dani inquired. “What’s going on, and please don’t tell me lies.”

Nathan was too embarrassed to look up, so he looked at the floor. However, he acknowledged that he was seeing the teacher of his daughter. Shortly after meeting, they began an affair. However, that wasn’t all. He decided to change jobs and move because he was having an affair with a woman back where they used to live, and she suddenly started expecting more from him than just being his mistress.
Dani realized then that her marriage was over.
She moved Ellie to a different school in the days that followed because she needed to be protected and loved, not be involved in her father’s extramarital affairs.

Dani moved to a new home and filed for divorce. Anytime Nathan wants, he can go see his daughter.
