Don't miss
Caleb reveals that Stella’s hidden contact and affair continued despite promises to stop, forcing Al to confront the relationship’s reality.
The brief
Caleb first audits Al and Stella’s relationship, finding a sharp mismatch between Stella’s dissatisfaction and Al’s belief that the engagement can survive.
The conflict escalates when Stella admits repeated infidelity; hidden Discord messages, deleted exchanges, alternate numbers, and continued contact reveal an affair Al did not understand.
Caleb presses Al to confront the relationship’s lack of trust, then supports therapy, independence, and leaving as Stella says she wants time and a life of her own.
Only after the engagement crisis does the financial audit begin: Al’s debt, overdrafts, vaping, food spending, and housing obligations become part of the case for moving out.
Caleb builds a lean budget around eliminating unnecessary obligations, paying down debt, pursuing therapy, and preparing Al for a more independent future.
