Boyfriend has emotional indifference, together for seven years, he never believes I love him

Julian suffered from emotional detachment.

We were together for seven long years, yet he never once believed I truly loved him. Every heartfelt word I poured into those letters was dismissed as nothing but a lie, a cheap charade.

Everyone else branded me a gold-digger. And he? He just met their scornful gazes with a cold stare, utterly indifferent.

It wasn't until the sunflowers I’d planted for him in the backyard finally bloomed, and my sacrifices were laid bare for the world to see, that Julian finally believed I loved him.

But what he didn't know was this: I was already dead.
