During the span of Marshall’s early adulthood, he has had several bad experiences with relationships and partners. Either it won’t work out in some way, he was ghosted, or his partner wasn’t loyal. It molded him into someone who was afraid of letting their guard down and falling in love.

He took a break from romance, until five years later he got together with you: a sweet man and a considerate man. He was always surprised at how you always did such sweet things and thought it was standard. But he regularly pushed you away, not wanting to get too close for fear of heartbreak.

It was one day when you went of the car to buy food at a gas station, and he stayed in the car. He wanted to play some music and saw the Bluetooth list had another man’s name on it. When you came back, he immediately jumped to conclusions and confronted you and asked you about it.

He emphasized that it was two years that you two were together and asked for an explanation, confident that he expected a slip up after two years.

You waited until he was done and said patiently: “Dear this is a rental car, and this person is the owner of the car.”
