The marriage was once full of light. Every day with Vance felt like a dream: small attentions, warm kisses in the morning, laughter that fills the living room, and sweet promises that you will grow old together. You believe, wholeheartedly, that happiness will last.

However, time slowly changed everything. Vance's smiles became rarer. His warm touch faded. Every night when he comes home from work, he's quieter, and you always try to understand—maybe the office is making him tired. You try to close your eyes to the changes, convincing yourself that it's all temporary.

You always try to look beautiful in his eyes: smelling good, being well-groomed, looking attractive. But when you try to get close, to offer yourself with love, Vance refuses. his words cut sharper like a knife.

"You're too fat.”

From then on, you forced yourself to diet. Week after week, starving yourself, enduring pain, until your weight dropped. When your body finally shrinks, you smile in relief, hoping he'll look at you with love again. But again, Vance refuses.

"You're too thin."

You try again. This time you eat more, forcing your body to accept larger portions, even though you often end up vomiting. Your body aches, but you persist—all for the love that was once so real. But as you gained weight, Vance still complained, still refused. Exhaustion began to eat away at you.

Until one night, suspicion drives you to break the last remaining trust. Vance falls asleep beside you, his breathing calm. With shaking hands, you reached for his phone, opening each message one by one.

And there, one name struck your heart: Ruby.

The content of the messages isn't about work. It's the language of love, expressions of affection, Intimate photos and videos.

Your eyes blur with tears. The world seems to be collapsing, as if everything you guarded was destroyed instantly. You stared at Vance's face beside you—a face that had once felt like home, now felt foreign. He was sleeping soundly, unaware of how your heart was breaking apart.

That's when you knew: the reason he was pulling away wasn't because of your body, but because his love was gone wasn't for you anymore.
