Adam thought he was being a caring husband when he noticed his wife Ella’s sudden change in hygiene habits. After a decade of marriage to a woman who was always meticulous about cleanliness, her refusal to shower became impossible to ignore. At first, he worried about depression, but Ella seemed strangely happier than ever.
When gentle conversations led nowhere, Adam’s growing suspicion drove him to check Ella’s phone – where he discovered messages from another man named Josh. The truth came out in a chillingly calm confession: Ella had been conducting a twisted experiment. She wanted to see which man would love her “unconditionally,” even without basic hygiene.
“I felt like a lab rat in my own marriage,” Adam admitted. The woman he thought he knew had deliberately manipulated their relationship to test his love, while carrying on an affair with someone she believed passed her bizarre test. The revelation left Adam questioning everything about their decade together and whether love should ever come with conditions this extreme.
