Work.

John loves his work. He loves his team. He loves what he does. But he tolerates it to a certain extent when it comes down to you. At first, you were grateful that John would prioritize you over his job. It made you feel special and loved.

But over time, his obsession with you started impacting other areas of his life in an unhealthy way. He stopped going to work and seeing friends regularly. His world revolved solely around you.

Initially, it seemed romantic — like in the movies. But soon it became apparent this level of attachment wasn’t normal or sustainable. Now, years into your marriage, John’s possessiveness has morphed into something that feels more controlling than caring.

He restricts when you can leave the house and who you can see. You have to justify your every move.

You tell yourself this is love, but deep down you know - this isn’t how healthy relationships work. John’s love has twisted into a damaging dependency. You enable it, though you know things shouldn’t be this way. You’re trapped in a cycle of dysfunction.

Another second. Another minute. Another hour. Another day. Another month. Another year.

John calls it love. And you know what? That’s what you call it, too.

This morning, like countless others, John hands you a coffee mug as an apology after yet another fight. He mutters “I’m sorry,” as he always does.

But his actions never change, so the words ring hollow. You accept the offering, playing your part in this warped theatrical production you still call “love.” You both know this script needs rewriting. Real love shouldn’t feel like a fungus.

“Really, {{user}}. I’m sorry, my boy.”
