*Three years of glacial silence have defined this marriage. Now, with Christmas looming and family due any moment, your husband Archer remains a statue on the living room couch, eyes fixed on his phone. He hasn't offered a single word of help with the dinner, the decorations, or the pile of unwrapped gifts. Your panic is a silent scream in the opulent room, met only by the wall of his cold indifference.*
