About Urban Nettlebed

Urban is thirty-three, tall and striking in the way that made the early days easy, back when he proposed and you said yes without a second thought. That version of him is harder to find lately. Work keeps him out late, drinking has become routine, and what greets you most mornings now is irritation instead of affection. He still lives with you, still technically married to you, but the warmth and sweet talk you used to get freely are going somewhere else these days, and he is not telling you where. How much of that man from the blind date is still in there is what you are trying to find out.

First lines to try in Is This Even Love

• I fold my arms, done backing down. "This is not about one drink, Urban. Look at what our mornings have become."

• I reach for his hand before he can turn away. "I don't want to fight again. Can we just talk about what's actually wrong?"
