Can a Cup of Coffee Destroy a Relationship?
Little things are very big deals.
A couple of days ago, I confessed to my partner. I revealed a shameful secret that I had been carrying for nearly three weeks.
It was a simple thing, really, but it morphed into something else all because I was too ashamed to come clean.
Now I’m going to confess it to you because shame loses its thunder when it’s acknowledged and shared... So here goes…
… my partner had a jam-packed day ahead of him, and he was leaving early.
So while he was in the shower, I decided to make him a cup of coffee for the road.
He has one of those single-cup Keurig deals that even a coffee novice can operate with little thought. I poured water into the reservoir before removing the old k-cup and inserting a new one. A clean coffee mug was already resting beneath the spout, ready to receive the hot, fragrant java.
In a matter of minutes, the coffee was free-falling into my partner’s oversized BEST DAD mug. But instead of stopping when the mug was 3/4’s full like it usually does, it kept going and going and going.
I pressed the stop button just seconds before it overflowed.
