What happens when love slowly turns into obligation?
When effort becomes invisible... and being taken for granted starts to feel normal.
The Exit Clause is a psychological novella about the quiet negotiations inside modern relationships - the compromises we justify, the silences we keep, and the moment someone finally realizes the cost of staying.
Set against the pressures of ambition, intimacy, and everyday expectations, the story follows two people navigating the fragile balance between care and control. What begins as romance gradually reveals something deeper: a subtle imbalance neither of them fully acknowledges.
Until one day, the question can no longer be ignored.
When love begins to erode your sense of self, is leaving a betrayal - or the only honest choice?
Thoughtful, intimate, and quietly unsettling, The Exit Clause explores the delicate line between devotion and self-erasure - and what it takes to reclaim yourself once you cross it.
