Silent Resentment, Bitter Regret

Why is it so hard to talk to the person you love? Shouldn’t it be easy? Shouldn’t this be the person who understands everything about you? Once the words have been uttered, “I love you”, something changes. All the rules are different. The choices we make for ourselves can easily be blamed on the person we supposedly love.

My life hasn’t taken the path that I once invisioned for myself. I have some disappointment, but absolutely no regrets. One day I will eventually do all the things I thought I would. My better half has chosen to blame me for his decisions. he feels that life has left him few choices and I am to blame. He no longer does the things he loves. It’s not that maybe he works too much, or that he is very involved with his children and their lives. It’s my fault.

Who knows maybe it is my fault. Did he feel trapped by marriage and fatherhood. Well join the club. Instead of making me the enemy, let’s try and get through it together.
