Annie's Mailbox

Dear Annie：I have been married to "Ken" for 10 years and have two beutiful, young children. Until six weeks ago, I thought I had a happy life. Ken dated his best friend's sister, "Terri," all through high school and college. They were once briefly engaged, and Ken remained close to her entire family. I first met Terri at my wedding, when she came up to my husband, gave him a big kiss and announced to everyone that she had no idea why they never married since they'd been in love for so long. Ken stil keeps in touch with Terri's family, and I always am cordial to her. 　We recently received an invitation to a surprise anniversary party for Terri's parents. However, Ken announced that he wanted to go alone, since I wouldn't know very many people and he didn't want to baby-sit me instead of visiting with his friends. I was very hurt, so some good friends announced that on the night of the party, they will take me out for a fun evening. I actually am looking forward to it. 　The problem is, Ken is furious. He says I'm just tring to get even. Now he tells me I can tag along to the party if I want, but I told him I wouldn't go for a million dollars. We are no longer speaking. Ken doesn't understand how much he hurt me, and I am beginning to question everything about him. Should I stay home altogether? - Need Help in Kentucky
