No Affection In Marriage Novels & Stories

I lived here like a responsibility, not family. The atmosphere shifted immediately after the words settled between them. Eleanor stared at the notebook longer this time. Then finally she said quietly, “You think Adrian failed you.” Ava looked down briefly at her sleeping daughter before lifting her gaze again. “Yes.” No hesitation. Eleanor exhaled softly through her nose, almost irritated. “Marriage is not built on constant emotional attention.” Ava raised her hands slowly. “No.” A small pause. “But neglect destroys it.” The answer landed harder than either of them expected.

"Yeah, I almost forgot how made of stone my husband was." Axel looks at me with a vague expression on his face. It boils down to the idea that we're nothing but fuck buddies. I don't know if I can say that since we're married. But our marriage is a bond because of needs, not attraction or love. No matter how I try to sugarcoat it in my head, Axel will never be the definition and standard of the word husband. "You don't mean that, just because I'm not hopeless romantic like the others, that doesn't mean I'm made of stone, Roe, you are hurting my feelings, wife."

Arif stared him for some time before saying " Congrats man, you are getting affected by a major and dangerous disease ; Love.." Ansif's head shot to Arif listening to his words. 'No, this cannot be true. He cannot fall for her, she is the one who is supposed to fall for him!' " Don't try to be a love angel in this matter , Arif. Both of us know, there is no place for love in this marriage" Ansif scolded Arif who smiled back at him. "Why do you want to make things normal between both of you if there is no place for love in this marriage?"

“Absolutely not.” “But why? We’re already living as a family. We’re already raising the children together—” “Because I don’t love you!” The admission exploded from me like a bomb. “Because this arrangement is about duty, not affection. Because marriage requires feelings I don’t have and never will have for you.” Kelsey recoiled as if I’d struck her. “I know you don’t love me the way you loved her, but love can develop over time. Marriages have been built on less—”

But then another voice spoke, and it cut through me like a knife. “You are so perfect for me,” Jeff’s voice rumbled, thick with praise and a deep affection I had never once heard him use with me. “So tight. A real partner. Not like that useless, boring Omega at home. You’re the only one who knows how to please an Alpha like me, Aiden.” Another loud, desperate moan echoed from inside. The puzzle of my entire five-year marriage finally snapped together. The cold distance. The quick, loveless encounters from behind in the dark. The complete lack of affection.

Maxwell asked in curiosity, his gaze strained on me. My mouth closed and opened with no words. “And I don’t get why you keep saying he couldn’t say that, are you guys not married because of love?” “I did. We married because of love. But my husband is not big on affection, if you know what I mean. So it was shocking when I found out he’d said that.” I mentally stroked my head in the smooth way I answered him. No stutter, no hint that every word I’d said was a lie.

"Without friends and a wedding party, it wouldn't feel quite real, would it?" No, it wouldn't, Thomas begrudgingly admitted to himself. And therein lay the crux of the matter. This marriage, devoid of genuine affection and commitment, was nothing more than a pragmatic arrangement, a means to an end. Yet, as he gazed into Leah's pleading eyes, a pang of guilt gnawed at his conscience.

I did neither. Some part of me recognized how strange it was to feel this unsettled over a woman I had married for reasons that had nothing to do with affection.
