The Confusing Thing About Relationships

1

It's been six years since we've got married, it was the happiest day of my life. All our friends were there and it was nothing too big and best of all I got married to her Sally, the woman that sought out freedom and justice for all, the woman who wanted peace and the woman I love.

But things changed, people changed, and you changed.

"Sonic please let's talk about this!"

"No! We agreed on that decision before we got married"

"I know but, I've just been thinking that-"

"Sal! I said no, end of dictation."

"B-but, please"

Seeing the way I hurt her filled me with guilt but not enough to change my mind.

"Look Sal, I'm sorry but I can't give you what you want, I said no then and I'm still saying no now"

But I was never good with words so a hard smack across my face was earned.

I did feel bad it's true but I knew I was never going to be ready, so I just couldn't.

I couldn't be a father

God, I need a fucking drink.

————

Bar's were never really my thing only if I need to get away from everyone, but tonight I just needed to get away from her.

I made sure to not get recognized, whenever I wanted to go out with just my thoughts, it was better to not be surrounded by so many people.

"What could I get for you, sir?"

"Whiskey"

"On it"

Once the bartender came back with a cup filled with the liquor I asked him to leave the bottle with me, I really needed it.

I couldn't stop thinking about my recent disagreement with Sally.

Why? Why now?

I always said that I didn't want kids and she agreed with me, at least she used to.

What made her change her mind?
Was she getting bored in our marriage?
Did she need something new?
Was she lonely?

Not that I'm not always around but I was never gone for so long either.

But what if, what if she leaves me?

No, she wouldn't do that and besides, it's not like we haven't talked about this before.

So why do I feel so bad about this?

It's not like it's my fault.

Right, it's not my fault, it's her fault

She's the one that wants fucking kids

She's the one that changed her mind

Damnit, I shouldn't have gotten marri-

"Penny for your thoughts?"

No way, That voice, it couldn't be

I looked over and sure enough, it was her, Amy Rose.

God it's been years

"So I wasn't just seeing things, it really is you Son-"

"Shhh"

"What~ last time I checked you loved the attention"

"Last time" was years ago"

"Guess you're right, how've you been?"

"I've been......alright"
