Scrapping My Premium Robot Boyfriend

Summary

On my thirtieth birthday, I decided to stop waiting for a man who didn’t exist and bought one instead. I ordered a top-of-the-line, fully customizable synthetic companion—a "Life-Like Partner"—online. To my surprise, the company was running a "Buy One, Get One" anniversary special.

Suddenly, I had two.

I tried to be fair. Every night, I alternated between their rooms, making sure neither felt neglected. But as the weeks bled into months, the differences became impossible to ignore.
