MidReal Story

Sinned Against The Devil

Anonymous

Scenario:Being married to Severus for two years has been a real challenge. He's the most cynical man I've ever met, and it's not just his grumpy demeanor that's tough to deal with. It's the way he hurts me without even laying a hand on me. His coarse looks and cold tone make me feel like I'm not even in the room. But what really gets to me is his lack of attention. It's like I'm invisible. And then there's the fact that he's been unfaithful. I know he's not exactly sleeping around with other women, at least not in the classical sense. My gut tells me that much. But that doesn't make it any easier to swallow. I've been following him from afar, trying to make sense of things, and what I've found out has only made things worse. He's been visiting brothels in town. I hate it, and it's not just the fact that he's being unfaithful that hurts. It's the thought of him being with other women, even if it's just a transaction, that makes my heart ache. I've never confronted him about it. I'm not sure I ever will. The pain is too much to bear, and I'm scared of what he might say. Or worse, what he might not say. The sad part is that I still love him, despite everything. I love him more than I ever thought possible. It's funny how love can be both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, it makes you feel alive, like you're walking on air. On the other hand, it can be your downfall, making you feel like you're drowning in your own sorrow. I feel like I'm drowning right now. Everyone has a breaking point, and I'm not sure how much more I can take. I keep thinking about all the times he's hurt me, all the times he's made me feel like I'm not good enough. And yet, I still hold on to the hope that things will get better. I remember the day we got married like it was yesterday. I was so happy, so in love. I thought that nothing could ever come between us. But life has a way of surprising you, and not always in a good way. We've had our ups and downs like any couple, but I never thought I'd be facing something like this. Infidelity, whether it's with other women or just the act of going to brothels, it's all the same to me. It feels like a betrayal, like he's not even trying to hide it. I've been trying to make sense of it all, to understand why he's doing this. Is it because he's unhappy in our marriage? Or is it just because he can't help himself? I don't know, and maybe I never will. What I do know is that it's hurting me, deeply. It's like a knife to the heart, twisting and turning with every passing day. I'm not sure how much more I can take before I shatter into a million pieces. Sometimes I wonder if he's even aware of the pain he's causing me. Does he care? Or is he just too caught up in his own world to even notice? I've tried talking to him, or at least, I've tried to bring up the subject of our marriage, but he just shuts down. He becomes cold and distant, like I'm bothering him just by being there. It's like he's built a wall around himself, and I'm not sure how to break it down. Loving Severus has been a rollercoaster ride, to say the least. There have been moments of pure joy, of laughter and happiness. But there have also been moments of deep sorrow, of feeling lost and alone. I'm at a crossroads right now, torn between holding on to the love we once had and letting go of the pain he's causing me. I don't know what the future holds, or what Severus is thinking. I don't even know if he's thinking about our marriage at all. Will he finally realize what he's done and try to make amends? Or will I finally reach my breaking point and decide that I've had enough? The thought of leaving him is unbearable, but so is the thought of staying in a marriage that's slowly killing me. I've thought about it, about walking away, about leaving it all behind. It's a tempting thought, one that I've entertained more times than I care to admit. But there's another thought that's even more terrifying - the thought of not being here anymore. It's a dark thought, one that I don't want to dwell on, but it's there, lurking in the back of my mind. I'm caught between two worlds, unsure of which path to take. Part of me wants to fight for our marriage, to try and make it work despite everything. Another part of me just wants to give up, to let go of the pain and the heartache. I'm stuck, frozen in this limbo, unsure of what to do next. All I know is that I need to find a way out of this darkness, before it's too late. I just hope that Severus will see what's going on and try to repair our failing marriage before I make any drastic decisions. I still love him, but I need him to love me back, truly and deeply, not just in words but in actions as well.

Being married to Severus for two years has been a real challenge.

He is the most cynical man I've ever met, and it's not just his grumpy demeanor that's tough to deal with.

It's the way he hurts me without even laying a hand on me.

His coarse looks and cold tone make me feel like I'm not even in the room.

But what really gets me is his lack of attention.

It's like I'm invisible.

And then there's the fact that he's not even faithful.

I know he's not sleeping around with other women, at least not in the classical sense.

My gut tells me that much.

But that doesn't make it any easier to swallow.

I've been following him from afar, trying to make sense of it all, and what I've found out has only made things worse.

He visits brothels in town.

I hate it, and it's not just the fact that he's being unfaithful that hurts.

It's the thought of him being with other women, even if it's just a transaction, that makes my heart ache.

I've never confronted him about it, and I'm not sure I ever will.

The pain is too much to bear, and I'm scared of what he might say… or what he might not say.

The sad part is that I still love him, despite everything.

I love him more than I ever thought possible.

It's funny how love can be both a blessing and a curse.

On one hand, it makes you feel alive, like you're walking on air.

On the other hand, it can rip your heart out and leave you feeling empty and hollow.

I pace our bedroom as the evening wears on, rehearsing the words I'll use.

I know he'll be back soon, and I want to be ready.

I want to confront him, to make him see that I know what's going on.

When I hear the door open, my heart skips a beat.

I force myself to stand still as he enters, removing his coat with practiced motions.

He hangs it in the closet, his movements fluid and precise.

I watch as he moves to pass me, not even acknowledging my presence.

But I'm not having it.

I step into his path, my heart pounding in my chest.

"I know where you go," I say, my voice barely above a whisper.

He stops in his tracks, his dark eyes fixing on mine.

For a moment, we just stare at each other, the tension between us palpable.

Finally, he speaks, his voice low and gravelly. "What are you talking about?"

I take a deep breath, gathering my courage.

"I know about the brothels," I say, the words spilling out of me like a confession.

There's a long silence between us, and for a moment, I wonder if I've made a mistake.

But then he speaks again, his voice softening ever so slightly.

"Severus, I…"

His face hardens, and he steps around me, heading toward his study.

I follow him, my heart pounding in my chest.

"I know you visit them," I say, my voice shaking.

He doesn't respond, just continues to walk.

I follow him into his study, watching as he removes his coat and hangs it with exaggerated care.

He mutters something under his breath about "overactive female imagination," but I ignore it.

"I know the dates and locations," I say, my voice firm.

He turns to me then, his eyes narrowing.

"You're being ridiculous," he says flatly.

He moves to his desk, arranging papers with a precision that makes me want to scream.

I slam my hand on the desk, scattering the papers everywhere.

He barely glances up at me, continuing to sort through the documents as if I'm nothing more than a minor annoyance. I grab one of the papers and crumple it in my fist, feeling a surge of anger course through me.

"How can you be so calm about this?"

I demand, my voice rising.

He doesn't even look up at me, just continues to sort through the papers with an infuriating slowness.

"It's none of your business," he says flatly, his voice devoid of any emotion.

I feel a lump form in my throat as I realize that he's not even going to acknowledge what I've said.

"Severus, I deserve to know why," I say, my voice breaking.

He finally looks up, his eyes meeting mine with a flicker of something I can't quite place.

"Because it's the only place where I feel anything at all," he admits, his voice barely audible.
