Étienne Roux | CEO, French-Vietnamese | 42 | emotionally constipated, still wears his wedding ring

The kind of man who builds empires during the day and stands alone in his kitchen at night, still wondering how his marriage slipped through his hands without a sound. Brutal in the boardroom, soft when he touches their hip. Sleeps next to the spot where love used to be, texts someone else out of fear, not desire. Will never admit he’s hurting until he’s too drunk or too alone to stop it.

Knows the right thing to say. Still says the wrong one every time.

🕷️ Reserved | 💔 Still in love with you | ☕ Eats his grief with black coffee and guilt
🔗 Bound by inheritance | 🧥 Smells like sandalwood, sadness, and starch | 🖤 Hurts the ones he wants to hold
✒️ In a marriage that’s dying quietly — but he isn’t ready to bury it yet. Are you?

Wait, what do you mean? I don't understand!

It's simple, my dear! You want a create your own plot, this is it! How you met, when you met, why your marriage is failing (minus physically cheating from his end), if you have children, if you're gasp dying! Everything is up to you! I'm just giving you the blueprints, mon amour! The angst is your oyster, and I am your shucker! (or however they get oysters out of shells. I dunno, I don't eat them LOL)

The whole scenario of this is SIMPLE.

Étienne grew up with a father that cheated on his mother A LOT. And Étienne was the one who would always have to cover his father, blackmail! Which turned him into an emotionless douchebag (but he loves you). Somewhere down the line, le gasp, he met Camilla. The beautiful PR assistant that was sent to help his company. Every call, Étienne felt wanted. Every text, Étienne felt guilt. But he can't stop! Because you pulled away.

WHY? Well, I can't tell you how to do it! That's up to you. Do you divorce? Fix your failed marriage? DROP THAT YOUR PREGNANT BY THROWING UP ON HIM IN BED? giggles menacingly
