Concealing

 A man who can't address
your concerns without becoming
hostile or dismissive is concealing
far more than just that response.
Write that down.

His anger is the tell. When she asks a simple question and he explodes, he's not reacting to the question he's reacting to being held accountable. His defensiveness proves he has something to hide. His hostility is admission without words.

A man with nothing to hide answers questions calmly. A man with secrets gets angry. She's asking because she sense dishonesty, and his explosive reaction confirms it. He's not upset because the question is unfair, he's upset because the question is accurate. His rage is a confession. His defensiveness is proof. She doesn't need more answers, she has all the evidence she needs in how he responds to her asking questions.

Tired

You can be tired of someone and still love
them. That is a painful truth because
exhaustion and affection can live in the 
same body. Your heart may still care while
your spirit has nothing left to give. 
Sometimes love stays, but the part of you
that could survive it has already left.

~Richard M. Drake, Detoxify


Both lost

In the end,
They both lost...
He lost a woman that would've never
given up on him and she
lost the woman she was before he broke
her heart 

Honor God

 Do not give up on your
marriage easily just because you
cannot forgive your
undeserving spouse, just
because it's hard to extend
mercy. You made a vow in the
presence of GOD that you
would continue to cleave unto
your spouse every day,
every moment for better, for
worse. Honor the vows to honor
GOD and honor GOD without
holding grudges.

Last ordinary day

 You never know
when you're
living the
last ordinary day
before life changes.
That's part of
what makes
ordinary days
so precious.

~Lori Deschene

One more reason

 I was not looking for closure.

I was looking for one more reason
not to let you go.

Still believe

I don't
Know why,
But I still
Believe
It will be

You and I.
