I was excited to be planning the wedding and excited to marry the man I loved. We went with a black tie wedding theme, not much color because to be totally honest Christian doesn't wear many colors.

I am a Halloween junky so Christian let me choose Halloween as our wedding date and it was less then a year away. (And I am not doing a gaudy Halloween wedding I swear it will be classy)

Christian continued to land more and more roles and was having a lot of success

Christian continued to land more and more roles and was having a lot of success. But a few months ago he took on a role what has really tested our relationship. He got offered the role of  Trevor in The Machinist. Christian told me he was going to have to loose some weight for the role but this was not what I was expecting.

Christian became unrecognizable he weighed maybe a 110lb he looked like a skeleton. I did not know how to feel or process this dramatic change. I was honestly uncomfortable. I love Christian and I understand his method of acting but this was detrimental to us and also his health.

I flew out to see him while he was on set and I just could barley look at him, he went into kiss me and I just turned away

I flew out to see him while he was on set and I just could barley look at him, he went into kiss me and I just turned away.

"Mila..." he looked at me shocked

"Christian I can't do this..... look at what you are doing to yourself" I said and took a step back, looking at his fragile body up and down

"You know this is what I do"

"I know and I love you but this is too far, why do I have to feel uncomfortable around the man I love for other peoples enjoyment?" I said with tears streaming down my face

Christian looked at me, wanting to comfort me but didn't even know how or if he should. I know he loves what he does and I respect his decision always and will stand by him but this... this was to much, I felt like I was watching him slowly die

I had my head ducked down but could feel that he never took his gaze off of me. He then steps forward kisses my forehead. Then he turned around and started to walk away, he stopped looked at me and said "Mila I love you, stick around for me this is temporary"

I was so upset I didn't even say I love you back, I wouldn't leave him over this but it hurt me to see him like this. It hurt me so badly to know he was putting his job and other peoples enjoyment in front of his own health.

I knew he would be back to normal soon but until then I kept my distance. I fell into a depression, he was the one person I have and trusted and he was unavailable to me. I was left in this huge city alone planning a wedding with a man I didn't even recognize anymore

I couldn't wait for my Christian to come home.
I couldn't wait to feel my Christians skin against mine.
I couldn't wait to feel safe agin

I couldn't wait to feel safe agin
