My wife and I met in high school, it was love at first sight and ten years later, we were still there, as head over heels over each others as when we were teenagers. She was perfect, life was perfect.

However, as the years went by, a routine started etching itself over us, a routine that I desperately tried to overcome by having phases, each one different from the other. They always ended up making her laugh though and wonder what will the next one be. Last month for example, I decided to go vegan, I lasted two weeks until she found me eating a pepperoni pizza (with extra pepperoni), and this week, after watching a lot of videos about it, I had on my mind to use only natural stuff in my daily life.

To reach my new goal, I bought a new boar bristles hair brush, a new coal tooth brush, a new perfume (a musk) and everything that went with it. However for the first time, I decided not tell her about my new resolution. Indeed, I wanted her to tell me by herself that I looked healthier, that my teeth were whiter, my breath smelled nicer and my hair was softer.

I hid everything on the unused cupboard in our bathroom, and for the trick to actually work, I put false blond hair strands on my brush (you can buy it quite easily at the store now), and wet my unused old toothbrush everyday.

Everything went alright for a few days, then I started to realize some strange things about my wife. She was not as beautiful as usual, her face looking pale and wrinkled, I thought maybe she was tired, so I started doing more chores around the house to help her. I noticed that her steps were heavier, sounding like she was not walking but dragging her feet on the floor, which was not like her usual fairy like walk I always found cute about her.

Then last night happened.

Usually I could sleep through anything, a war could have happened under our bedroom window that I would have not heard it, I never had any problem with it considering the fact that my wife had the lightest sleep ever and could wake me up if anything happened (it never did).

That night however I was awakened by whispers, heavy whispers, she was muttering incomprehensible things by my side, things I did not understand, and that scared me. I looked at the clock, it indicated 3:30 am, since getting married I had never woken at that time. Maybe she was a sleep talker, I thought, something I could have skipped noticing since I was such a heavy sleeper.

I turned my head to look at her and I stopped, nearly peeing myself on the stop.

She was standing on the floor on her side of the bed, her back to me. Her head was bald, not shaved, but bald like she never had hair on the first place, she was shorter, her back crooked, her long fingers dancing around covered in a red substance as she kept chanting her words over and over again.

And then she stopped.

Slowly, for what seemed like hours, her head turned, 45 degrees, 90 degrees, up until her head was facing me but her body wasn’t. I was petrified and she looked perplexed. Her mouth opened, I could not recognize her voice, it sounded like three people were speaking from her at the same time.

“Go back to sleep.”

I did as she said, going back into my previous position. I had no other solution, no other idea, so I acted, even adding in a fake snoring sound as drops of pee wet the bed and my back burst out in full sweat, feeling her eyes on me. A few seconds later, she started chanting again, I however could not relaxe one bit. I watched the clock tick until 4:10, where she stopped her ritual and went back to sleep.

This morning, I acted like everything was alright, the same way I did every morning, kissed her, told her I loved her. She smiled and giggled, I noticed her mouth was devoid of teeth.

Later that day, I watched hiding behind the door she left ajar, as she went into our bathroom, grabbed my hair brush and frowned. I watched as she grabbed some fake hair I left on it, and dropped it straight into her mouth. I watched as her frowning deepened.

My knees buckled when she glanced towards the door, her eyes catching mine. She walked to me, smiling, her face crooked, her eyes bloodshot, naturally I started walking backward. She quickly grabbed my arm, planting her nails on it until drawing blood.

« What are you? »

She was full on giggling now, « You had to escape the spell before our wedding anniversary »

I tried running away, however I could not move anymore, my whole body feeling fixated on the floor, I watched as she put her mouth on my arms, sucking the blood out of it, feeling disgusted by the sensation of her wet teeth less mouth on it.

« Don’t worry darling, everything will be back to usual soon »

She grabbed a handful of my hair and yanked it, the pain making me yelp. Having everything she needed, she just went back into the bathroom closing the door this time.

I decided to run away, I just bolted towards the door the fastest I could, hearing noise behind me I looked back. I shouldn’t have. She was there, running after me on all fours, her body bent backwards, nearly folded in two, her smiling head appearing between her legs. Grabbing the door handle I tried opening it, but it would not budge, under the pressure I started crying, until snot ran down my face.

« Stop being ridiculous honey. » she laughed.

Dinner came, we’re currently both sitting at the table, pretending I’m working on a last minute project, I am writing to you, I cannot escape this house, I tried everything from breaking the windows to crawling into vents, nothing worked. Smiling at me from across the table, she’s urging me to drink more wine.

She’s starting to look beautiful again.

You are being incredibly critical, no one's going to look the same after ten years, especially not like they did in high school. I think you owe your wife an apology, go give her a nice hug tell her she's beautiful and let her have a chew on your arm like a good husband.

Nah, sounds more like the wife has been casting spells on him ever since they met.

If all it takes for her to keep her looks is OP's hair, and maybe the odd bit of blood, assuming her personality hasn't changed I'd say just sit down and have a talk. I mean, he didn't mention any harm to his health until the spells stopped working, but hiding something for the entirety of a marriage is a big breach of trust.

So you used natural toothpaste then, huh? Flouride clogs up your pineal gland aka third eye thus enabling you to finally see her for what she truly is. Guess she didn't like that very much.

Hey I don't blame you for being scared I was at one point my wife is remarkably similar to yours but she's more werewolf-ish if I can put it lightly and has a weird taste for bloody meat particularly raw but that doesn't mean I get out of the woodwork I still have scratches from years back but hey I learned to ... live with it. just be happy that yours is more... Lenient for your punishment. I have two daughters 18 - 12 both of them take up after their mother and recently the older one also has a partner of her own now I tried to to warn him but she wouldn't allow me. I still feel guilty and always will but in the end I can't do anything and if she doesn't kill me age well so my advice. Try to be happy with your circumstances they could be a lot more complicated...

sounds like she’s letting herself go and trying to convince you to do the same

Ok_Understanding6528 t1_j2kqduz wrote

Oh trust me it always starts so little and so minuscule but that was cost can add up they take more and more as you age. not just your physical features but your mental ones I used to be a prideful man someone that started their own business and made a few half decent brands and then I met...

I can't talk about her right now she's too close I'll try to contact you later if I'm able until then ask any question you want.

Haa... May I ask if you're in your 20s because you remind me a lot of myself back when I was a young boy before I met...her. they sleep like spiders silent and ready to attack. If you're going to try to kill her I would recommend poisoning but these things... They're not human I don't even think them animals they're just a type of demon

I don’t know, OP, it sounds like your married life has been pretty great until you decided to hide something from her. You never would have had to worry about any of this if you hadn’t decided to test her to see if she’d notice you changed something. Should have been upfront like you usually are, nothing would have changed. A bit of stray hair and I bit of blood, which I guess she was getting from your toothbrush, is a small price to pay for the happy marriage you had with a woman you claimed to love so much.

InsanityIsFine t1_j2l29x6 wrote

Now that changes things. That would constitute a violation of your personhood and consent, making her a very dangerous, and dare I say, abusive person.

Maybe look into some spells of your own, for protection. At least to grant you the hability to get away from her/her influence safely.

The thing is: if you think you are happy then you are happy. Don’t let your mind overthink things, you got a great wife there who needs your support. And you did vow in sickness and in health.

My wife is also the sweetest person on the planet, until her son walks into the room , then she is a lying cutthroat schemer.

Play ball, get her on your side, get her to take you outside, until hopefully you can convince her enough you won't leave and will always return, and she let's you out alone. You run.

EXACTLY! So typical, the guys just lost in his own little world, while this incredible woman has stood by him for a decade, being supportive of all his wants and hobbies, caring for him, and bending over backwards to keep up an aesthetic he finds appealing even if it means dark magics! Suddenly the veil slips a little and ten years of dedication go out the window and suddenly he is terrified even though she has never given him any evidence other than that of devotion to him!

I think you are spot on, maybe he could try learning the late night chant in secret, and suprising her by joining her, potentially shaving his head too in solidarity. Genuinely cant think of a more romantic gesture.

she was a good demon all the years before and even in this form she didnt really hurt you. I think she is a keeper, you cannot predict when her demonic power could come in handy

FBeauty is only skin deep! As for her bending men always want "flexable" women - she's as flexible as can be! As for her baldness - buy her some cool wigs - several colors and styles - keep the interest flowing! You can also take up witchcraft or demon worship. A hobby you both can practice and add ambiance to your stale marriage. The couple that "chants" together, stays together! Come down off your high horse and love the woman you have now. After 10 years you're not Atlas yourself!

Blue-Deri-Pancakes t1_j2vpamc wrote

Honestly, sounds like she’s just trying to bring things back to normal. You have to ask yourself, why are you so scared of her now? She’s still the wife you know and love, just now with a few more…quirks. Talk to her. Communication is key. She hasn’t harmed you majorly, other than ripping your, what would lead you to believe she will more now? She clearly trusts you enough to see her like this, it seems like she does genuinely care about you. It seems you can’t escape anyhow, so why not just roll with it for a bit. Beautiful and caring wife, wonderful life, and all you have to sacrifice is hair you’re already losing anyway? Imo, it’ll all be fine. Sure she’s…something else, but you were happy before, why assume things will change after you help her out a bit

Haha weird, how I was thinking of the exact opposite. Like when he said he started to do more chores when he found out she looked tired, I thought of him as the best husband because even my siblings or anyone I know of or very close to don't do things for me just by noticing that I am tired. I have to tell them, that I am very tired, so I can't do this thing now.
