Steven, Caroline’s husband, serves in the United States Armed Forces. The active duty member informs his wife that his deployment is about to extend by two weeks. He also informed them that he was sending her a special gift, as a way to make up for the extended stay out of the home. Caroline was excited to know about the special gift, but her initial excitement quickly turned into anger. She cannot believe what Steven has done.

Unpacking the Gift

Caroline was full of excitement when she saw the gift box. She was all keyed up to see what was inside the box. The taped-up box, with colorful ribbons around it, looked tempting and anybody would feel excited about such a lovely gift box. Caroline was no exception.

As Steven’s deployment was extended, it only meant more hardship for Caroline, who is also the mother of Steven’s only child. However, Steven wanted to make up for it by sending a gift. Caroline also had big expectations as Steven has never disappointed her.

This Was Not What She Expected

The box, wrapped up with colorful packing material, looked tempting. Caroline could not wait anymore as she was super-excited to open the gift since she heard the news of it arriving. However, her excitement died off too soon as she found some foils and empty packets inside the box. She was least expecting this type of material inside the box.

She started searching for that coveted something. She was looking for a gift from Steven that would bring a smile to his face. Did he play a prank on her? No, Steven was not that kind of a person. But where was the gift?

She Took The Final Call

This was not what she expected. After so many days of waiting, all she could find inside the box were some empty packets and foils. She was fuming as she thought Steven had failed to deliver on his promise, something that is highly unlikely of him.

The next day, Caroline decided to call it quits. She downloaded the necessary documents from the internet for filing a divorce lawsuit and she even called her lawyer. She had signed all the papers and was all set to send them to Steven. She did not even want to see him again. What made her take such a big decision?

Point of No Return

Caroline had waited for her husband for so many days and she was disheartened to know that his deployment has been extended. She was so upset that even a message from Steven was like an oasis for her. She was completely gripped by anger and sadness when she found out that her dreams were shattered again.

Steven had promised Caroline that he would come back home next week so they can spend quality time together, with their only kid. He was also eagerly waiting to go back home. However, things did not go according to the plan.

About to File for Divorce

Caroline and Steven have been together for close to six years now. They are such a lovely couple that everybody in the neighborhood knew that their chemistry is simply unmatched. They even went on a honeymoon and welcomed their first baby. However, their relationship faced the biggest challenge in six years when Steven failed to keep his promise on two occasions.

Both Caroline and Steven were prepared to stick together through thick and thin. But with Steven failing to deliver on his promises time and again, things took a turn for the worse.
