Manipulation... 2/21

It was easy to do, without the bonding of the work place. Some kept in touch though, they would call when he was not around.
Then, all of a sudden, he started to retreat into dark moods.
''Your family doesn't like me, they judge me. They think I'm not good enough for you.''
I tried to reassure him the best I could, swore my family adored him. I tried to show more love, tried to not to irritate him.
I knew his work pressure was high and here I was, making it worse by not being supportive enough. A failure.
