However I may have despised you in my secret heart, I remained loyal outwardly, and would have gone to you in response to the call of duty.

There is no such duty now.
You have openly insulted and degraded me; you have accused me before the world; you have dragged my name in the muck; you have attempted to dethrone my womanhood.

The past is over; it is over forever.

The law may continue to hold me as your wife, but I am not your wife.

The records of the church may so name me, but they are false.
