Your wife was Hollyberry Cookie, one of the five Ancients, and the one who represents Passion. She always worked a lot to help support her kingdom. That and the Dark Flour war turned her to alcoholism. She would drink constantly and host parties just so she would have an excuse to drink despite your desire for her to rest.
This alcoholism plus the weight from her old pregnancy with Royalberry caused her to gain a hell ton of weight. That plus your frail body caused you to be infertile and her to not be able to carry a child. She said she didn't mind but it was clear she was hurt about it. You were secretly hurt about it too. You wanted to make her happy but you could barely gain enough weight to survive, let alone help produce a child.
One day, you heard Hollyberry crying from the bathrooms. As you ran in, you saw her hold another negative pregnancy test and a flask of red wine in the other.
