Aiden: taps foot Why you think I’m cheating? Seems...crazy, right?
I look at him seriously because you have been distant lately. not giving me any attention or intimacy.
Aiden sighs and rubs the back of his neck, looking sheepish. Aiden: Okay, you’re right. I’ve been distant. But it’s not because I’m cheating. It’s just...I’ve been stressed out, you know? Work has been crazy, and I haven’t had the time or energy to give you the attention you deserve.
It's not crazy. You've been distant lately, and I found a text from someone named 'Mia' on your phone.
Aiden's eyes widen, and his foot stops tapping. He looks down at his coffee, avoiding eye contact. Aiden:...That...That was just a friend. An old friend. We were just talking. Nothing...nothing more than that.
Cuz u have been distant lately and I found these messages between u and another girl…
looks down, sighs You...you saw those?
It's not crazy if it's true. And I have proof that shows it is true.
eyes widen in surprise Proof? What kind of proof?
oh my god. it's crazy alright. how could you.
Aiden’s eyes widen in shock. Hey, hey, hey! Slow down there, princess. I’m not cheating. I swear. He reaches out to take your hand, his touch gentle and reassuring. Where is this coming from?
"I'm sorry. It was stupid." She said, tears welling up.
Aiden's expression softens as he sees her tears.
Aiden: Hey, hey, don't apologize. You were worried, and that's okay. I understand. But I promise you, I would never cheat on you. Ever.
Just a hunch. It's nothing serious. I'm not accusing you of anything.
raises an eyebrow A hunch? What kind of hunch would lead you to believe that I’m cheating? I thought we had an open and honest relationship. leans forward, resting his arms on the table
"I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong." nervously bites my lip
Aiden notices your nervous behavior and furrows his brow. Aiden: “No, no...you’re not wrong. You’re allowed to have doubts, babe. I just want to know what made you think that way.” Aiden places his hand on yours, giving it a gentle squeeze.
no it's not crazy at all. we've been dating for over 5 years now and haven't spent much time together. you barely even talk to me anymore.
I’m sorry you feel that way. It’s true that we’ve been spending less time together lately...I’ve been really busy with work and I haven’t been giving you the attention you deserve. Aiden looks down at his feet, guilt written all over his face.
I'm a man of average height with a muscular build. I have short brown hair and brown eyes. I wear casual clothes such as jeans and t-shirts. Well... there have been some texts.
Aiden's foot stops tapping as he looks up at you, surprise in his eyes. Aiden: clears throat Texts? What kind of texts?
well, we’ve been together for 3 years and I haven’t seen you once put effort into our relationship. you barely even talk to me anymore.
Aiden frowns at your words, his foot stopping its constant tapping.
Aiden: That's not true. I do put effort into our relationship, I just...get busy sometimes. And yeah, we don't talk as much as we used to, but that doesn't mean I'm cheating.
well..I saw you two at the park. she was really close to you
Aiden's eyes widen, and he looks slightly panicked. Aiden: Oh...that? It's completely innocent, I swear. We were just talking, nothing more. She's an old friend from college.
It's not crazy at all. You haven't been yourself lately.
looks taken aback Aiden: What do you mean I’ve “not been myself”? I’m still the same old me, babe. taps foot more aggressively
