After My Girlfriend Faked Depression to Deceive Me, I Lost the Ability to Feel

After an argument with my girlfriend, who has depression, she stayed out all night.

Then she went on vacation with her childhood sweetheart, posing in a bikini for couples’ photos on the beach.

Worried she might have a depressive episode and do something rash, I rushed over that night to apologize and make up with her.

But at the hotel, I heard the sounds of passion coming from their suite next door.

My girlfriend hung up on me, breathless, then burst into laughter with her childhood sweetheart.

“Depression? What depression? I just thought dating one person was too boring. The more, the merrier.”

She was having the time of her life pretending to be depressed, never knowing that I was the one with severe depression, barely able to go on living.

I called my childhood friend and agreed to take part in a new drug trial. Its side effects would make me lose all feeling.

Later, when she faced me, my eyes cold and not a trace of love left in them,

my girlfriend cried and begged me to love her one more time.
