I am Rose, a mother to a lively four-year-old daughter named Lily and wife to Mark. Recently, we decided to get a Labrador puppy, Max, who brought immense joy to our home.

However, Mark soon developed rashes and claimed to be allergic to Max. Despite my efforts to alleviate his symptoms, Mark’s complaints intensified. He eventually gave me an ultimatum: him or the dog. I was heartbroken and confused.

One day, Lily found a tube of lipstick in Mark’s drawer. This discovery led me to realize that Mark had been faking his rashes with the lipstick to get rid of Max. I confronted him, but he lied about it.

Determined to uncover the truth, I followed Mark to a woman’s house, where I saw her hug him. It became clear that she was the one allergic to dog fur, not Mark. Furious, I packed Mark’s belongings and left a note saying, “It turns out the puppy is allergic to you.”

When Mark returned, I confronted him about his betrayal. He apologized, but it was too late. I asked him to leave, and he did. Now, Lily, Max, and I are moving forward together, stronger than ever.
