You did it! We figured this one out! It is a truth universally acknowledged (by me for certain) that the Bitchery pretty much knows everything, and really, it's true. Scroll down to see the solution for this HaBO - and many thanks!
This HaBO is from Kay, who really wants to know how this book shakes out:
It begins at a class reunion where wife has retired to a hotel room, and husband comes to the same room with a past girlfriend, who tries to seduce him. He’s ambivalent as his wife hears all this unbeknownst to the maybe lovers.
It doesn’t get better for the wife who is a teacher (husband is coach at same school). They have several children; it may have been a shotgun wedding. Coach is pretty dismissive of wife and is recruited to coach at a professional level (Football?) out of state. This requires him to move, and he is essentially separated from his wife. He does keep in touch with his children and has them visit where he is coaching. But I think he ignores the wife. Maybe he resents her for keeping him from playing in the “big time.” There are pictures of him with another woman while he coaching out of town.
I think the wife starts pulling herself together(makeover?), but is very hurt by his actions.
All this gets resolved but how and why I don’t remember, and it is driving me crazy (yes, such is my life…sigh…)
Any help would be much appreciated.
Throw the whole man away!

I hope the wife gets it together by getting rid of the husband
Agreed! I’ve been watching a lot of Chinese and Korean “movies” on YouTube lately that pretty much all follow that theme. Leave him, make him sorry, live a better life.
Following.
I feel like I’ve seen this in a TV movie.
totally following! She needs to kick him to the curb, fall in love with a friend in the local book club, raising their children together!
I’m wondering is this even a romance? I think we’re all going to be disappointed if it ends with her not kicking him to the curb…
Following. I want revenge on this dude.
Following.. I hope she boots him out fingers crossed.
THE BROKEN ROAD TO FOREVER by L.K. Owen and Rhonda R. Dennis
Note that the book doesn’t begin with the scene described. It’s divided into two parts, with Part I detailing the protagonists’ relationship through their childhood and teen years, and Part II relating the events of the “present”/their 20-year high school reunion.
KAY! Did this solve your HABO?
Deborah has done it! That’s the title. Thanks so much!
Kay
Always good to start the day with a solved HaBO!
