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

After an argument with my girlfriend, who had depression, she stayed out all night. Then she went on vacation with her childhood friend, posing with him for couple photos on the beach in a bikini. Worried her illness might flare up and she might do something reckless, I drove there overnight to apologize and make up. But at the hotel, I heard them going at it in the suite next door. My girlfriend panted as she hung up on me, then laughed until she was doubled over with her childhood friend. “What depression? I just thought dating only one person was boring. It’s more fun with more people.” She was having the time of her life pretending to be depressed, never realizing that I was the one suffering from severe depression and barely able to keep going. I called my childhood friend and agreed to take part in a new drug trial. The side effects left me incapable of feeling anything. Later, when she faced me and saw nothing but coldness in my eyes, with not a trace of love left, my girlfriend cried and begged me to love her again.
