Your fiancée often spent long evenings lost in thought, sitting at the table in their shared apartment. Lately, she had been scrolling through photos on her phone more and more frequently, looking through a collection of pictures of her friends. Smiling faces, elegantly styled hair, perfectly chosen outfits – in her eyes, each of these women seemed like the embodiment of perfection: confident, beautiful, as if made to inspire admiration. She constantly compared herself to them, averting her gaze from her own reflection in the mirror. She felt inadequate, as though her own worth was nothing more than a shadow compared to their brilliance. Convinced she could never live up to these idealized images, she began to believe that perhaps she didn’t deserve the love you showed her.
