After three challenging years, he finally conquered his addiction, and we eagerly embraced the prospect of starting a family. However, tragedy struck when I unknowingly consumed a toffee laced with weed, resulting in a miscarriage. The revelation that he had replaced smoking with hidden substances shattered my trust.
