The relationship of Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII started out very loving.

Then, after Anne Boleyn had a series of miscarriages, the only son Anne Boleyn was able to deliver was stillborn. Henry VIII was convinced his marriage to Anne Boleyn was cursed and he set his eyes on a new, younger woman named Jane Seymour.
