Kevin Leaves: His Third Year
We All Have a Story
When I asked Kevin to stay in touch after he left his family, I had no idea where his story would lead. Would he return? Would his new relationship last? Would he lose both? I didn’t know, and that wasn’t the point. What mattered was hearing the real story unfold—something I hoped might help others facing similar decisions.
We all have stories. Some chapters are strong, some are painful. We make good choices and bad ones. We play the hero in one moment and become the villain or victim in the next. But every experience can teach us something, and each new chapter gives us a chance to write the story a little better than before.
In this final episode of Kevin Leaves, we return to Kevin’s story during the third year after he left his marriage and family. By this time, more than two years have passed since he moved away to build a new life with the woman who had been his affair partner. Kevin reaches out again after more than a year of silence, ready to talk about the choices he’s made and the ways they’ve shaped his life. Then again, three months later, I learn about a significant shift in his story.
This episode marks the end of the recorded conversations I had with Kevin. This series is a rare, honest look into the unfolding years after leaving a marriage for a relationship born in secrecy. It is only one story, but there are things we can all learn from it.
