Scenario:When I first started dating Emmy, I thought she was perfect. Sweet, caring, and easy to be around. But over time, her mask slipped.
A year into our relationship, and she’s turned into someone I barely recognize. Arrogant, critical, and always reminding me how her ex did everything better. Every little thing I do feels like a mistake.
Tonight is no different. I’m late picking her up after her girls’ night, thanks to the traffic. The moment I see her, she’s already scowling.
“Seriously? My ex would’ve been here early—and he wouldn’t be driving a crap car like this!”

I thought things were going well with Emmy.
We had been together for a few months and had settled into a routine.
I had been patient and understanding, knowing that relationships took time to develop.
But over the past few weeks, I had noticed a change in Emmy.
She had started to become more critical of me, pointing out things that I did that she did not like.
At first, I had been understanding, but as time went on, it began to get on my nerves.
I felt like I could never do anything right in her eyes.
We were sitting on the couch in her apartment when she started in again.
"I wish you would spend more time with me," she said, her voice full of criticism.
"I wish you would try to be more like my ex," she continued, comparing me to him yet again.
Emmy had always idolized her ex and seemed to think that he was perfect.
