   Summary

   Shane was just about to break up with his girlfriend Jessica, until she dropped the bomb she was pregnant. So Shane did the right thing and married her. 3 years later and with no baby to be seen he can't remember what it was like to be happy, he tried to bring up breaking up many times and she always played the baby card so he just accepted his fate of being married to someone he didn't love and who only used him for his money. Until his new coworker Ilya comes along and helped Shane realise a few things about himself and showed him he can be happy and doesn't need to put himself last.
