When the trust is broken, nothing can ever be the same.

Mark started raising suspicions when his wife Lisa decided to take solo fishing trips. Somehow, Mark knew that this need to spend time away from him had something to do with their neighbor Sam, who was also an affectionate fisherman.

One day, Lisa posted what seemed like an innocent photo online, but there was something on it that convinced Mark that he had all the right to suspect his wife was involved with Sam.

On the photo, Lisa was proudly holding a branded fishing rod that Mark knew belonged to Sam. When he confronted his wife, she denied having anything to do with their neighbor and claimed she only borrowed the fishing rod, but Mark’s gut told him she wasn’t telling the truth.

He thought long and hard and realized he couldn’t get over the fact that his trust in his wife was completely shaken. He pondered the importance of transparency in a relationship and knew it lacked from his and his wife’s.
