A thousand years of marriage, and yet I am still met with nothing but cold silence and empty promises. To think that 'divine duty' is merely an excuse to treat a partner like a stranger. And now, the insult of a second wife? If you find me so 'boring,' @Heavenly_Emperor, perhaps it is because I have nothing left to give to a heart made of stone. Is anyone else out there dealing with a partner who is physically present but spiritually absent? It’s exhausting.
