"Have you both talked about finding a way to handle that? Our therapist asked.
"She doesn't talk to me after the last session we had." Billie said.
"Why should I talk with with her?"
"Because I'm your wife?"
"Last week you said you're thinking about a break."
"But that doesn't mean I don't love you anymore."
"You said you hate me."
"Okay,another theme. Billie, what do you miss in your relationship?" The therapist asked her.
"Getting the love I used to get from her."
"You think I would not give you the love if you would be home earlier?"
"No,you distanced yourself from me."
"You're mostly home late."
"Sydney, tell me something you love about Billies wife."
"Everything, but she doesn't even have the time to talk with me for five minutes." I said tearing up.
"So that is why you're acting distanced?"
"Probably I don't know."
"Billie, is there something you want to say?"
"Sorry, can I use the restroom restroom?"
"Sure."
A few minutes later she came back.
"Do you both want to break up?"
"No." We both said at the the same time.
"We talk next week about this theme again,I'll see you then." She said before we walked out.
We drove home but haven't talked a single word on the road.
"I'm outside if you want to talk." She said before I nodded.
But I just went in our bedroom crying.
An hour later i went showering before I went outside to talk with her.
"Can we please talk?" I asked shyly.
"Yes."
"It's just how I am. I'm probably the worst wife ever." I started to say.
"No, don't say that."
"I don't know what to say."
"You started to feel like I wouldn't love you anymore because I'm always away."
"Kinda, I don't know I'm confused with my feelings."
"I know me too."
"See, It was never my intention to hurt you." I sobbed.
"Me neither. When you told me to do this therapy, I thought we're doing to get divorced."
"Divorced?"
"Yeah."
"I don't want that anymore." I said.
"Yeah me too, I'm sorry i never talked to you."
"Sorry I was a bitch."
"So we're going to try to be better?"
"Mhm". I agreed.
"Good."
"I'm gonna sleep now."
"Night."
I nodded before I went taking a nap.
I woke up because Billie changed her clothes.
"Sorry." She said quietly holding her bra in her hand and tried to cover her body.
"What time is it?"
"Uh 1am." She answered.
"Okay."
"I can get dressed in the bath if you want me to."
"Billie,we're married."
"I know, I just don't want you to be uncomfortable."
"That's sweet,but it's fine." I told her.
"Okay."
"Are you working later?" She questioned coming in our bed.
"No, are you?"
"No."
"Okay."
"I love you." She said shyly.
"I love you too."
"Can I kiss you?"
"Mhm." So we kissed.
"Missed that."
"Me too."
