Breakup Diary: Why Don’t I?

by Sarah Creagh Horth on September 30, 2009

T and I were still together when I wrote this, but things are quickly going downhill.  2 months until we breakup...

nude44/12  Well we walked and talked.  I talked about negotiating.  He talked about worrying about the future and worrying about this situation.  The negotiation thing could work maybe.  So I said, OK what about now – and he said ‘bad timing’.  But what are we doing?  We are here at the bike shop and then we’re going to Uniqlo (a clothes store).  Time for bike shop & Uniqlo but no time for me.  So I’ve talked about compromise – and every time I talk about it, he’s like: ‘What are you talking about?’ like it is a new idea.  So we’ll see whether he will try…

He said he has no feeling about it all.  But hey that’s the guy I married, the one with no passion.  He’s kind of cold and hard.  I feel like leaving.  Why don’t I? Scare of being a failure.  Scared of being alone.  But surely being alone is better than being frustrated.  Over half the time we’ve been together, I’ve been unhappy.  For 2-3 years, I’ve had problems with the marriage.  Nothing seems to make it right.  I’m so unhappy.
