The Silent Killer of Marriage: How Love Dies by a Thousand Cuts
Most marriages don't end with dramatic betrayals or explosive arguments. They die slowly through paper cuts-thousands of seemingly insignificant moments that gradually erode trust until the relationship bleeds out. This profound insight forms the heart of Matthew Fray's raw, unflinching exploration of relationship failure. After his own devastating divorce, Fray began documenting his journey, unexpectedly resonating with millions of readers. What makes his perspective so powerful is that it comes from someone who, by his own admission, was a "good person" but a terrible husband-and only realized it when it was too late. The conditions that destroy marriages are subtle, almost invisible. These tiny wounds don't trigger our sense of danger, which is precisely what makes them so dangerous. We don't recognize the threat until the bleeding has become unstoppable.
