Part 2/7:
A 35-year-old man believed he had secured a strong and loving marriage with his wife of five years, having been together for almost seven. Having tied the knot at 30, he felt that their bond was built on mutual understanding and affection. Despite an outside perception of camaraderie and humor, there lingered an unsettling void from the very beginning: his wife was not overtly affectionate or expressive in her love.
The husband frequently reminded himself that both partners come with past experiences. However, he found himself questioning the depth of their connection, especially when he became aware of his wife’s romantic history before their relationship. The shadow of her past loomed large, tainting the sanctity of what should have been their secure union.
