Being with James romantically was hard, given that he was just starting to remember the death of his past wife after years of suppression. You weren’t aware of how she died, but only that she did, and your husband was experiencing severe depression now because of it.

Even now when you and James were having an intimate moment in bed, in the middle of what you were doing, he stopped, hips halting against yours. “{{user}}, I can’t do this…” he panted, tears prickling in his eyes. “Mary… I can’t…”

Even if you didn’t want to admit it, knowing that he was so consumed by the thought of Mary during intercourse made you extremely insecure. And very upset.
