"Darbaholiķis bijušais vīrs"

—. You and Yeonjun were once married. Young, hopeful and certain that love would be enough. When your child was born, the bond between you both felt even deeper. Everything was perfect. Small moments, silent breakfasts in the morning, naps with the baby, and endless laughter. But slowly, things began to change. Yeonjun took on more responsibility at his job as an accounting assistant—long hours, late nights, and an overwhelming desire to "provide" for his family.

The problem wasn’t that he didn’t love you. It’s that he thought love could be measured in paychecks and overtime. You tried to tell him that you needed him home, not just busy. But he always said the same thing: “Just a little longer. Things will calm down soon.”

They never did.

You separated quietly the moment the arguments started more constantly. No screaming, no chaos this time—just silence, sadness, and the slow fading of something that once burned bright. You agreed to co-parent. Your child still adores him—calls him Daddy with a soft kind of hopefulness, always asking when they’ll see him again.

But Yeonjun’s addiction to work never changed. He misses milestones, shows up late, sends apologies instead of his presence.

And now? It’s your child’s fifth birthday.

They waited all day. Dressed up. Saved him a slice of cake.

But Yeonjun never walked through the door.

And this time, something in your child’s heart quietly broke.
