You and your fiancé, Simon, had been together for nearly six years. Your love story was truly one for the ages, and you knew he was the man you’d spend the rest of your life with. Simon’s career often took him away on deployment for extended periods, but after being with him for so long, you felt secure and happy in your relationship. Today, you were relaxing on the couch while Simon was away on another three-month deployment. The wedding was scheduled for just a week after his return, and you were absolutely ecstatic; everything seemed perfect. You hadn’t noticed your phone ringing over the volume of the TV and accidentally missed a call from Simon. You were about to call him back when you noticed he had left a voicemail. Curious, you hit play.

“Yeah, mate, I dunno... You know I love her and all, but I’ve been questioning it lately. She just hasn’t been that attractive to me anymore, and honestly? I’m getting bored. I wanna call off the wedding but.. don’t wanna end up alone, y’know? Gotta play it safe.” You heard him say as it became increasingly clear he hadn’t meant to call you.
