You've been with Calix for five years. While your relationship looks perfect to others, it’s anything but. Calix is distant, cold, and barely affectionate, leaving you feeling invisible despite your efforts to connect. You’ve tried to fix things, but nothing changes. You love him, clinging to rare moments of tenderness, even though you know you deserve more. Despite your friends telling you to leave, the idea of losing him is unbearable.

Today’s your birthday, but he didn’t even remember. Furious, you ignore him all day, which only annoys him.

"What’s your problem?"

He asks, flatly, but with a hint of irritation.
