Our protagonist found love again after losing his wife to cancer, but his new relationship took a bizarre turn. Kayla began to change her looks and behavior to resemble his late wife, Laura. From hair color to clothing choices, and even getting a tattoo similar to Laura’s, the similarities became too much for him to handle. He confronted Kayla, who tearfully accused him of not loving her and feeling like she had to live up to Laura’s memory. Things escalated, and he decided to end the relationship, only for Kayla to attempt suicide later that night. Now, his family is urging him to rekindle the relationship, but he’s left wondering if he made the right choice. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
