Have you ever love someone in a way where it feels like being with that person is self-destruction? Thats how much I love him. I feel like the more time I spend being with him the deeper I'm digging my own grave. He's like a poison to me, or even worse a drug. I'm addicted to him, I'm addicted to the high that he brings that I can't see how much he's ruining me, my body, my soul and my mind. Everyone else can see the bad side effects of being with him. Everyone else can, but me.
I choose to see the beauty in him, the parts of him where he doesn't allow other people to see. The soft, gentle and caring man beneath all his armor. Will that be enough? Will my love for him be enough that it could stop him from self-destructing? Is true love ever enough?
If you expected this to be a fairy tale, you got it all wrong. This isn't Romeo & Juliet where the fought for love until they died or Cinderella where everyone lived happily ever after.
This is my story. Learning how to love, heal and mend a broken man while he was slowly cutting me with his pieces.

Things can become clear in a second. When I found Tanner in his office with that woman, so many things became obvious. Tanner's always held himself back from me, but now, secrets and lies come tumbling out into the light. He's never loved me and he never will. I'm no longer willing to be a placeholder in his life, and I have to end our marriage.
Tanner
I'd been married for four years to someone I didn't believe I loved because I thought I still loved another woman. A woman I had to give up when I chose to marry my wife after I got her pregnant.
Now, the other woman's back, she's divorced and is telling me it's our time to be together.
Just as soon as I divorce my wife, who's pregnant with our second child.
The allure of the past was impossible to resist, so I gave in, met her at my office and my wife found us just...after.
So many things became clear to me even before I looked into my wife's devastated eyes.
What had I done?
I knew what I'd done, and now I had to prove to my wife that she's the one I want.
