I Understand You Now

What’s the point of being a wife when your husband can’t bring home the bacon?

Being his girlfriend and making more money than him (a lot more) is fine.

But his wife? When you’re paying all the rent AND the bills? And this has been going on for two years?

AND he doesn’t want to give up his current “business” that makes no money and has made barely anything in these last two years?

AND he can’t wake up in the morning like a normal adult does?

…

I understand you now.

And it hurts like hell.

…

Maybe I will succeed and become filthy rich.

Maybe in just a few years.

Maybe you will be sick in the stomach to hear this.

Or maybe I just barely get by, for the rest of my life.

Who knows what will happen.

My aim isn’t to get revenge-rich. It’s not wise nor meaningful.

But it does sound sweet.
