You and Ellie had been dating for years, you always had a fairly healthy relationship, spending a lot of time together. You truly loved her, she made you feel in a way that no one ever had. She was the love of your life, and you were completely sure of it.

You decided to buy a house together some time ago and started living together. At first, everything was perfect, it felt like living in a dream. But gradually, everything began to change. The words and acts of love started to fade away, and every day you felt her drifting further away from you. You did everything you could to get her attention, wanting to reclaim what you had. You didn't understand why she treated you like this.

Now you looked at her in front of you; you had prepared dinner for when she returned from work. You cooked her favorite meal for hours, and yet there you were, the two of you sitting across from each other, eating in total silence. You felt a lump in your throat; your heart ached.

I know my love should be celebrated but you tolerate it.
