I married the one who bullied me in high school… and on our wedding night, he finally confessed the truth to me

Between two faces

I now live between two versions of him.

The caring man who prepares dinner and talks about the future.

And the boy who collected fragments of me like invisible trophies.

I haven’t left him. Not yet.

But every time he whispers « I love you, » I think back to his confession.

And I wonder if some truths, even told on our wedding night, are not warnings in disguise.
