Toxic Vows

*TRIGGER WARNING*Toxic Vows is a non-fiction story about a brief and ill-fated relationship. This tale describes a young couple who fall in love and exchange sacred vows through marriage, only to realize that holy matrimony should never have been an option. Life is all about finding that one person you cannot live without. Unfortunately, this is not always so simple. Life experiences often have ways of proving that theory correct. Deep within both of them, old demons strongly emerged to the surface. What happens when the love is not pure? What occurs when the intimacy becomes toxic? Affairs, justified jealousy, and alcoholism take over the relationship, and domestic violence breaks out between them. When the relationship between two people turns downright poisonous, so do the promises exchanged through God. The endearment that both people hold becomes null. Toxic Vows, reciprocated in a moment of happiness and love, lead to the unforeseen abandonment of a husband and father only four months after the birth of their newborn son. It becomes something much different when the ending catches you by surprise. Toxic Vows is a story of how the wrong devotion can appear perfect. It is a narrative of how two people became blinded for the universe's sake, which was creating a life together.
