Robert’s meagre earnings barely covered bills and food. The years wore heavily on the family—eventually, Robert turned to alcohol, and Anna, at her lowest, followed suit.

Neighbours tried to intervene, advising Anna to send her boys to a children’s home if she couldn’t care for them. Not long after, Anna and Robert left their sons behind. The brothers grew up in care, never forgetting their parents, even as they started new lives as adults.

I’d Spent Months Organising It All, Working Full-Time and Setting Aside 20% of My Salary Every Month for Her—Hairdresser, Nails, Everything She Wanted. I Thought Supporting Her Was My Duty as a Partner. A Year Before, I Took Her Entire Family on a Seaside Holiday, Paying for Everything After Saving and Working Late Hours. Then, Just Days Before the Ceremony, She Told Me She Never Wanted to Marry—That I’d Done Too Much, That My Love Felt Overwhelming. She Said Yes to My Proposal Only Because I Asked in Front of Her Family. With Five Days To Go, She Walked Away, Leaving Behind the Contracts, Paid Bills, Plans and a Cancelled Wedding. That Was the Week I Learned Being the Man Who Pays For Everything, Fixes Everything, and Is Always There Doesn’t Mean Someone Will Stay With You. The wedding was only a week away when Emily looked at me, her eyes rimmed red, and said she didnt want
