And you wonder why this marriage isn’t working? You say that you show up for me all the time. And you do show up for me. Sometimes. But you leave me emotionally STARVING.
I needed your help yesterday. For literally 30 seconds. I asked you twice. And twice, you refused. And your reason was “why are you even doing that? You shouldn’t have to be the one to do that.” Okay? Even if I agree with you there, you could have atleast (reluctantly) given me 30 seconds of your time to make it easier for me, your wife. Instead, you refused, twice, and I ended up having to ask a stranger to help me. It took him 30 seconds. All while my able-bodied husband was 40 yards away, sitting in his chair, too blinded by pride or whatever the fuck it is, to care.
The funny thing? I didn’t even want to ask you. Cause I knew you’d have some shit to say. But I guess I expected the grumbling, followed by the (reluctant) help. And I wanted to give my husband the chance to help me before asking another random dude. I did not expect you to just flat out refuse, and leave me hanging.
Do you even LIKE me anymore? It blows my mind that I asked you yesterday for help with something so fucking small and instead of getting the help from my partner, it took the kindness of a random stranger instead. Fucking sad. We’ve been married long enough, this one just hits me so hard….because it was so simple….
