Haven't cheated yet.
Had opportunities but passed them up.
Marriage just means tolerating bullshit you otherwise wouldn't.
If you don't have kids, the obvious question then follows....why don't I just leave?
People act like they're stuck.
No, they're not.
I could say I'm stuck, but I'm not.
I'm just looking for some slightly less desperate timing for this big leap of faith into the beyond.
I'm living the life I swore to myself as a small child that I never would:
Coming home, hearing complaining.
Working 60 hours a week and it's not enough.
It's never enough.
It will never be enough.
I used to think I was the black hole.
I was wrong.
Arguments over things I would never normally even deem worth a listen.
Marriage, like many societal constructs, for those rare failed prototypes among us....is for the fuckin' birds.
Women want fried ice.
ReplyDeleteDon't even try to give it to 'em, even if you did figure out how to manage it, you will get a moments gratitude before the "What have you done for me LATELY" instinct kicks in.
KG - yep. Chris Rock said it best. "I've never met a happy woman in my life."
ReplyDeleteWhat does she want you to do? What does she say would make her happy?
ReplyDeleteit's not about me changing or doing things differently. i've changed since we got married. and....well, it is the way it is.
ReplyDeleteRun DMC all the way. I'm sorry to hear things aren't working out. Best of luck to you both.

you said it perfectly,,, and that's
ReplyDeletethe reason I walked out on marriage
because no matter what I did or didn't
do "nothing was enough" it's like trying
to please a child that doesn't like candy.
I walked out and sadly enough I'm willing
to do it all over again hoping it will
be ok with the next one.
