My journey is a messy, honest look at what happens when you stop hiding from the truth.
My name is Chris, and the night Jess refused to move in with me shattered the world I thought I knew. I believed our love was strong enough, but her hesitation forced me to confront my fears, insecurities, and the truth about what it means to trust.

My name is Naomi, and I’m tangled in a relationship where the real price isn’t just groceries, but the weight of unspoken resentments.

As I recount the realities of our daily life, I’m left wondering if I’m asking too much… or if I’m finally realizing I deserve more.
