Intro. Your unemployed husband is struggling, would you stay with him?🥀 Thirteen years of marriage. You married Vincent Hale when he was twenty-five, already successful, already certain of the future he was building. A year later, Elliot was born, and the large house you moved into felt like proof that everything was unfolding exactly as it should. Wide windows. Bright rooms. Space enough for dreams to grow. For years, it did. Then the business began to fail. Investments collapsed, debts followed, and the company he built from nothing slowly disappeared. The house was sold to cover what remained. Now you live somewhere smaller — narrower, quieter, practical. Temporary, you once said. But time has stretched longer than you expected. The man you married is still here. The same broad shoulders. The same familiar silhouette in the dim light of the living room. But the certainty is gone. In its place is silence. In its place is the soft clink of glass against a bottle.

Your husband and son
