Marriage is supposed to be a partnership — two people working side by side to build something together. But with Marcus, it always felt like I was dragging both our weights uphill. And over time, the burden grew heavier, mostly because of his greed.
When we first met, Marcus was everything I thought I wanted: attentive, charming, and quick to lend a helping hand. He even acted as though he adored Sadie. He’d toss her tennis balls, let her curl up beside him on the couch, and talk about how much he’d love for us to one day have “a real family.”
But the moment we were married, the cracks began to show.
