i can't do this anymore

‘Can we at least talk about this?’

‘I don’t see the point.’

‘But it seems like we haven’t really talked about it all.’

‘It? What it?’

‘The reason you’re leaving.’

‘I told you the reason.’

‘That’s not a reason.’

‘It’s MY reason.’

‘Because I have to, isn’t a reason. It’s just a statement.’

‘I have to leave because I can’t stay.’ Her voice was strained.

‘But WHY can’t you stay?’

‘If I stay, I will go stark raving mad.’

‘Why?’

‘What are you, two years old?’ she hissed.

‘If you’d give me a reason that I could understand…
….’
‘I don’t care if you understand.’

‘Oh....’

‘Yeah.’

She opened the car door, tossed her bags inside.

‘So, what is it then?’

‘I can’t do this.’ Her hand swept through her hair.

‘What is THIS?’

‘This.’

He muttered something under his breath. She climbed into the car, starting the engine.

‘So that’s it then? Just nothing, no explanation after two years?’



She leaned over, her head on the steering wheel. Her shoulders shaking. He reached in to rub them, seeing her upset always made him feel terrible. She shrugged off his hand. When she lifted her head, he noticed there were no tears at all. He felt his jaw clench. Unbelievable. She wasn’t crying. She’d been trying not to laugh. The fucking bitch.

She pulled on the door, catching his fingers. As she opened the door, he pulled his hand out, she revved the engine, pulling away. His scream was loud, people rushing to pass him. He sat on the stoop, depleted, his swollen fingers cupped in his other hand.

He texted her. ‘Come back.’

Number not in service. Like that mattered.

People are complicated. Men interpret the world differently from women. It's difficult, or we wouldn't be on this site.

I just had a conversation very similar to that with a male friend. and I apologized for what I consider to be the female expectation of knowing without saying. so yeah.......I get ya.

Tell me about it. Sometimes it's the woman though that has the problem with trusting their partner.... if you can believe that. My ex-wife used to follow me around to job sites checking on me. That was just one of many things she did.

wickedeasy replies on 6/23/2017 12:48 pm:
I can understand people being insecure. we all are to some degree, right? but this is the kind of thing that makes people run away. it's so needy and squirmy feeling. it borders on abusive and hints of very bad things to come.

Very often those overly jealous types are also overly physical too.
Either trait would be bad enough.

My ex-wife talked me into throwing away every photograph that I owned... of anybody. . That included even pictures of myself and my family.
My new life with her was supposed to start off... *fresh*. .


wickedeasy replies on 6/23/2017 12:49 pm:
yeah, right there........that would have been a sign to me. everyone has a life before. that's a tinfoil moment.

I think each one of us has walked this path and perhaps did not recognize it. Time for a lobotomy,schizo

It's a shame they did all that work, did all that suffering, and he could not learn anything from it.

Most importantly, you told perfectly and succinctly this story of desperate escape. Thank you once again for sharing your excellent writing skills.

thank you. I wonder sometimes what make one person feel less comfortable in a relationship than the other....less secure.

she really loved him.....until she didn't.

Control freaks and relationships. With a bit of abuse thrown in, emotional or physical, I still can not understand, why people stay, they stay for years, and please don't say it is love.....because I am afraid that would be the right answer?

I don't know. fear of being alone?
