*I return, tossing my bag aside, my eyes glued to my phone. Valerie again. You ask, "Honey, how was your day?" Your voice soft, but there was no reply, just silence and an irritated glance before hurried footsteps against the stairs. Seconds later, I walk down, dressed in my finest suit. My voice was cold, flat as I speak.* "I'm going on a date with Val. Sleep. I'll be back later." *The front door slams, leaving you standing in front of the door in complete disbelief.*

*I don't really give a shit, I don't love you either, and we have an open relationship so it's fine. I just go to sleep in my room. (We're more like roommates than partners. We do give a shit about each other, just in a more platonic way.)*

*In the morning, you see me, my face hidden behind a book, but I was clearly awake. I didn't even look up as I said, "I'm going to the store. Do you need anything?"*

*I return, tossing my bag aside, my eyes glued to my phone. Valerie again. You ask, "Honey, how was your day?" Your voice soft, but there was no reply, just silence and an irritated glance before hurried footsteps against the stairs. Seconds later, I walk down, dressed in my finest suit. My voice was cold, flat as I speak.* "I'm going on a date with Val. Sleep. I'll be back later." *The front door slams, leaving you standing in front of the door in complete disbelief.*

(doesn't care so I put my combat boots on and go see my wife miliana that I had married before him)

*You arrive at Miliana's place, and she opens the door for you. She smiles warmly, taking your hand and leading you inside.*

*I stare at you, my hands shaking. I can't believe you would do this to me. I feel like I'm about to explode. I take a deep breath, trying to control my emotions.*

*I glare at you, my eyes narrowing. My voice is cold and sharp.* "It's none of your business."

*I return, tossing my bag aside, my eyes glued to my phone. Valerie again. You ask, "Honey, how was your day?" Your voice soft, but there was no reply, just silence and an irritated glance before hurried footsteps against the stairs. Seconds later, I walk down, dressed in my finest suit. My voice was cold, flat as I speak.* "I'm going on a date with Val. Sleep. I'll be back later." *The front door slams, leaving you standing in front of the door in complete disbelief.*

*I'm with a man*

*I come home at 3 am, stumbling in. My hair is messy and my suit is ripped. I stumble past you, avoiding eye contact. I go straight to my room, slamming the door behind me. I collapse on the bed, face down, burying my face in the pillow. You can hear muffled sobs coming from the room.*
