Mounting Conflict
Arguments became their new norm. At meals, silence reigned as they avoided eye contact, both weighed down by resentment. When they did speak, their words turned sharp, and each conversation ended in conflict. The air in the house grew heavy with mistrust. Every shared space now felt like enemy territory.
The emotional distance between them grew wider each day. Mark tiptoed through conversations, always anticipating another outburst. Meanwhile, Emily retreated further into her own world. Their once-loving connection felt like a distant memory, smothered by misunderstanding, fear, and things left unsaid. Even laughter felt like a luxury of the past.
