Mark thought his seven-year marriage to Jess was strong, but everything changed when he saw her selling her engagement ring at a pawn shop. Initially believing it was to pay bills, Mark later discovered through Jess’s phone that she had sold the ring to fund a solo trip to Bali, mocking him in a group chat with her friends. When confronted, Jess tried to deflect the blame, but Mark was devastated by her betrayal. He ended their marriage, and Jess left three days later. Mark’s mother helped him process the pain, reminding him that Jess’s actions were her own failures, not his. Mark realized Jess had seen him as a financial provider, not a partner, and he was done looking back.
