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!”

It’s been a month since Emmy and I started dating.
At first, everything was perfect.
She was sweet, caring, and loving.
However, over the past week or so, I’ve noticed that she’s changed.
She’s become more critical of me and loves to compare me to her ex, who was apparently perfect.
I’ve tried to be patient and understanding, but it’s getting on my last nerve.
"Jamie, can’t you see that you’re doing it wrong?"
Emmy asked, sitting on the couch and watching me cook.
I had been patient with her for the past week, hoping that she would go back to being the girl I first met.
However, it hasn’t happened yet.
At this point, I’m not sure if it will.
"Do you want to cook it?" I asked, turning from the stove and looking at her.
"No. I just wanted to tell you that you’re doing it wrong," she replied, shrugging her shoulders.
I sighed and turned back to the stove.
She had been downing me all week and at this point, I’m not sure if I can take much more of it.
