Optical illusions exist to trick our mind into believing that we see something that doesn’t really exist or into lacking to see the obvious.
Either way, they are fun and trigger discussions. They also make us think deeply about their meaning and about what they truly represent.
The following optical illusion can help you determine what kind of lover you are based on what figure you notice first.
Being aware of this fact is sometimes crucial in building a relationship with someone.
Every bonding with the person we love is mostly grounded on communication and mutual understanding. The feelings involved are of course a crucial part of the decision to be with someone or not.
The following test will also reveal your personal method of showing your love.
This knowledge can deepen the romantic involvement with your other half and help you understand and appreciate your partner even more.
Now take a look at the image and note the first thing you notice.
These are the explanations based on your answer:
The Face:
If the face is the first thing you notice, it shows that you are determined and have your goals straight in life. You always have a plan about your next move that you are ready to fulfill with unshakable confidence. You have a reputation that you are often correct and you are born to be a leader.
As a lover, you believe that finding the time to spend together with the person you love is crucial for a successful relationship. Having someone find the time for you besides their hectic schedule is a valuable love expression. But you are wiling to do the same and make your loved one a priority.
The Trees:
You are likely someone who experienced emotional heartbreak in the past and when there comes the time for a new love, you carry the baggage from your previous love experience. You are a sensitive individual and what doesn’t leave a mark on someone else can entirely take up your mind for a long time. However, besides the scars, you don’t lose hope.
As a lover, you believe that a relationship works best if you open up. When you share your pain and deepest fears with the person you are with, you experience something deep and meaningful. To you, even a shred of emotional availability is immensely appreciated.
The Wolf:
You are likely defined as someone passionate and someone who has no lack of confidence when it comes to initiating your love desires. You are also an initiator of a great party and now how to make people feel comfortable around you. Always at the center of attention with your wit.
Your love language is physical touch. You are passionate and the physical acts of intimate love-making mean much more than words to you. The reason for this is because you have learned much more from actions than you ever did from words. You show your love to your partner through sweet and tiny physical gestures. Playing rough occasionally is your thing, but it is the gentle cuddling and nuzzling that let your soft side shine.
The Moon:
You are a dreamer who loves dancing and writing, as well as appreciating other people’s expression of these forms of art. You find inspiration in the world’s creative and spiritual side.
You express your love through art. As a lover, all of your creative work has something from your loved one tied into it. If you write a poem, you consider it an act of dedication, while a painting incorporates elements of the way your partner looks like, such as the color of their hair or eyes. Before you express your love, you need to be sure it’s the right thing.
The House:
What you seek in a relationship is the security you feel at home. You are someone who finds happiness in being mostly at home with the one you love. A perfect scene for you is sitting in front of a fire, wrapped in a blanket and feeling the coziness of your place.
You show your love by providing for the person you are with. When they are hungry, you are happy to go to the kitchen and prepare a delicious meal for them. This small act is your secret and personal method of telling the person exactly how much you adore them and how much they mean to you.
The Camera Revealed Our Expectant Birth Mother’s Plan to Destroy My Family – Her Lies Gave Me the Life I Always Dreamed Of
When Rachel spotted her husband kissing the woman they had trusted to bring their dream of parenthood to life, her world crumbled. But what began as a betrayal set her on an unexpected path, proving that the darkest moments can ultimately lead to something beautiful.
I was halfway through unloading groceries when my phone buzzed. It was a motion alert from our door camera. Frowning, I tapped the notification and waited for the video to load.

It was Sean. He was on the porch, but he wasn’t alone.
“Jessica?” I whispered, frozen as I watched her step closer to him. Her hand rested on her swollen belly as her lips curved into a smile. Sean said something I couldn’t hear, and then she kissed him.

I dropped the carton of eggs.
You see, Sean and I had been married for five years. We had built a beautiful life together, or at least, I thought we had. When we realized we couldn’t have children, I was heartbroken. Adoption became my lifeline, my way to the family I dreamed of.
At first, Sean wasn’t on board.

“Adoption’s a big step,” he said one night, staring into his beer. “What if… I don’t know… What if it doesn’t feel the same?”
“It’ll be ours, Sean,” I said, gripping his hand. “We’ll love them like they’re our own. Please, just think about it.”
He eventually agreed, but not without hesitation. Still, I clung to hope.

Months later, our adoption agency called.
“Congratulations!” the social worker chirped. “Jessica, a young expectant mother, has chosen you and Sean to adopt her baby. She loved your profile, said you seemed kind and stable.”
Stable. If only Jessica knew.

I was ecstatic. I threw myself into preparations — decorating the nursery, reading parenting books, and doing everything I could to make Jessica feel supported.
“You’re paying for her rent now?” Sean asked one evening, his tone sharper than usual.
“She’s carrying our baby,” I said. “The least we can do is make her comfortable.”
Sean nodded, but something in his expression unsettled me.

At first, everything seemed fine. Jessica was polite but distant. I assumed she just needed space. Sean, however, was overly attentive.
“She needs someone to drive her to the doctor,” he said one Saturday morning, grabbing his keys. “I’ll take care of it.”
“I could go,” I offered.
“No, it’s fine. I’m already dressed.”

I didn’t argue, though the pattern repeated itself. Late-night texts. Long phone calls. Sean also insisted on visiting Jessica alone.
One night, I finally said something.
“You’re spending a lot of time with her.”
“She’s carrying our baby, Rachel,” he snapped. “What do you expect me to do? Ignore her?”

I bit my lip and looked away. Maybe he was just stressed. We both were.
The door camera footage proved I was wrong.
When Sean came home that evening, I was waiting in the living room.
“Rachel?” he said, surprised to see me sitting in the dark.

“How long?” I asked, my voice trembling.
“What are you talking about?”
I held up my phone, showing him the video. “How long have you been sleeping with her?”
Sean’s face turned ghostly pale. “I… It’s not what it looks like.”

“Don’t you dare lie to me!” I shouted, tears streaming down my face. “I saw her kiss you, Sean! How could you do this to me? To us?”
“It just happened,” he stammered. “I didn’t plan this, Rachel. It started before we knew she was pregnant. I didn’t want to hurt you.”
“Hurt me?” I laughed bitterly. “You’ve destroyed everything!”
“I’ll fix it,” he said desperately. “I swear, I’ll fix it.”

Jessica’s voice echoed in my head. “She’s carrying our baby. I had to step up. It was the right thing to do.” Only now, I wasn’t so sure.
“Whose baby is it, Sean?”
He hesitated. “She says it’s mine. She chose our family because she recognized me among the families.”
My world crumbled.

“Get out,” I whispered.
“Rachel—”
“Get out!”
Sean grabbed his coat and left. I sat alone in the silence, my mind racing. Jessica had chosen us to adopt her baby, but it wasn’t an act of kindness. It was revenge.

The call came a month after Sean left. I hadn’t heard much from him, though I knew he was still with Jessica. The silence was both a relief and a burden.
“Rachel,” Sean’s voice came through the phone. It was unsteady. “I need to talk to you.”
I sat down, gripping the edge of the counter. “What do you want, Sean?”
“It’s about the baby. He looked nothing like me.” He hesitated, then exhaled heavily. “I had a paternity test done.”

“And?”
“She lied,” he said, his voice breaking. “It’s not mine.”
For a moment, I didn’t respond. The words felt surreal.
“She made it all up?” I asked, my tone flat.

“She thought I wouldn’t ask for a test,” Sean said. “But when the baby was born, I just… I didn’t see it. The timing didn’t make sense either.”
I closed my eyes, anger and vindication swirling together. “So what now?”
“I don’t know,” Sean admitted. “Jessica left. She took the baby, and I haven’t heard from her since. I — Rachel, I’m so sorry. I messed up.”

I laughed bitterly. “Sorry doesn’t even begin to cover it, Sean. You didn’t just mess up. You betrayed me, destroyed our marriage, and let that woman humiliate me.”
“I want to come back,” he said softly. “I want to fix this.”
“No,” I said firmly. “There’s nothing to fix. Go figure out your life, Sean. I’m moving on with mine.”

Two weeks later, I found myself at the hospital. I had avoided it since the adoption fell apart, but there were loose ends to tie up — final paperwork, the agency’s apologies, and too many painful reminders.
“Are you Rachel?” a gentle male voice asked as I stood near the reception desk.
I turned to see a tall man with kind eyes and a warm smile. He wore scrubs and carried a clipboard.

“Yes,” I said cautiously.
“I’m Ethan,” he said, extending his hand. “I work in the lab here. I was supposed to meet you to review some of the test results.”
“Oh,” I said, shaking his hand. His grip was steady, calming. “Thank you.”
We walked to a small office. Ethan handed me some forms, explaining the process for closing the adoption file.

“I’m sorry you’re going through this,” he said sincerely. “It’s not easy, losing something you hoped for.”
I nodded, surprised by the emotion rising in my chest. “Thank you.”
For a moment, he seemed hesitant, then said, “I… I went through something similar. My fiancée left me two years ago. We had a newborn daughter at the time.”

I blinked. “She just left?”
“Vanished,” he said, his voice heavy. “I tried to find her, but she didn’t want to be found. After a while, I stopped looking. I figured she made her choice.”
“Wow,” I said softly. “I’m so sorry. That must’ve been awful.”
He nodded. “I heard rumors she’d passed away. I guess I’m a widower now. I didn’t know what to believe, so I focused on my daughter. She’s the best thing in my life now.”

Something about his story tugged at me. “Do you have a picture of her? Your fiancée, I mean?”
Ethan hesitated, then pulled out his phone. He tapped a few times and handed it to me.
My stomach dropped. It was Jessica.
For a moment, I couldn’t breathe.

“Rachel?” Ethan asked, concerned.
I handed the phone back, my hand trembling. “Ethan, I… I know her. Jessica. She’s the woman who was supposed to give us her baby.”
Ethan’s expression froze. “What?”

“She manipulated my husband,” I said, my voice shaking. “She claimed the baby was his. It wasn’t true. She’s the reason my marriage ended.”
Ethan sat back, stunned. “So she’s alive?”
“Yes,” I said quietly. “And as awful as it sounds, I wish I didn’t know.”

Ethan was silent for a long moment. Then he looked at me with a mix of sadness and determination. “Well, I guess now we both know the truth. What do we do with it?”
“I don’t know,” I admitted.
For the first time in a long while, I felt a strange, fragile sense of hope. Maybe, just maybe, this broken road would lead to something better.

Ethan and I started meeting for coffee after work. At first, it was just two people sharing stories of heartbreak — his fiancée leaving him with a newborn and my husband shattering our marriage with lies.
Ethan shared how Jessica left him after he lost his place in med school. Devastated, he enrolled in a local college so he could at least work in a lab and rebuild his life. Somehow, in each other’s company, the weight of the past felt a little lighter.

“It’s funny,” Ethan said one evening as we watched his daughter, Lila, toddle around the park. “I thought losing Jessica would break me forever. But Lila gave me a reason to keep going.”
“She’s lucky to have you,” I said softly. “You’re an amazing dad.”
“And you’re an amazing person for surviving everything you’ve been through,” he replied.

We grew closer, bit by bit. I babysat Lila when Ethan had night shifts, and he helped me repaint the nursery I’d once prepared for another child. Slowly, the empty spaces in my life began to fill with laughter, warmth, and love.
A year later, Ethan proposed, and I said yes. I became Lila’s stepmother, and soon after, we welcomed our own baby girl. Watching Ethan hold our newborn, his face glowing with pride, I knew my life had come full circle.

Ethan went back to school, determined to finish his medical degree. “You believed in me when I couldn’t believe in myself,” he told me. And when he graduated, I cheered louder than anyone.
