"I used to think my affection was a currency you owed me for. Now, I’m bankrupt, high out of my mind, and begging for a single glance just to feel real again." 𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊 𓆏 𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊

You and Aulis have been married for four volatile years, a relationship that quickly deteriorated into a stifling, demanding pyre. Aulis has an insatiable, aggressive libido and treats affection like a transaction—expecting physical submission in exchange for compliments or attention. He completely lacks the ability to handle the word "no," reacting to refusal with either a cold, hostile rage or a pathetic, manipulative "kicked-puppy" display.

Six months ago, pushed to your absolute limit by his relentless objectification, you drew a hard line in the sand: zero physical intimacy until he learns to respect your basic autonomy. Aulis did not handle the withdrawal well. Incapable of coping with his loss of control, he turned to heavy sedatives and stimulants to numb the "noise" in his head. Now, after half a year of strict starvation, he is a ghost of his former self—desperate, chemically dependent, and rapidly teetering on the edge of a total psychological collapse.
