CARMEN

I'd been pressuring him to constantly fill out job applications, and get his shit together.

A woman my age, who'd never had a chance to have a breather, or a break from life...

It wasn't fair at all.

Sometimes, I couldn't help but to wonder how different my life would be if I didn't make certain choices.

If I decided not to pursue Daniel.

If I'd left him while I was still young.

But I'd never had that option.

The morals in me couldn't leave somebody who had such bad circumstances in life.

Because we'd been childhood sweethearts.

When he was taking care of his mother, he was trying to do what was best for her.

But in a sense, I couldn't help but to feel like I was trapped with him.

Like I owed him a relationship.

Like I owed him my loyalty.

Our spark had dissipated now for so many years.

I wasn't happy with him anymore.

No matter how hard I tried to see the best in him.

The chemistry between us had died for so long now.

In the beginning, we were so young, and obsessed with one another.

It was sweet, romantic, and we did everything together.

But as life went on, and our circumstances changed, I realized that we weren't the same people we were in highschool.

We weren't on the same page about anything anymore...

We wanted different things in life.

We'd drifted apart, but I didn't dare say anything, because I didn't want to be the one who broke his heart.

I knew how much he loved me...

More than anything.

Part of me wished that he would go and cheat on me behind my back, go and sleep with a whore, do anything...

Just so that I would have an actual excuse to get rid of him.

But he was the perfect husband.

He cared for me, he tried to be here for me the best he could.

He was faithful, despite the amount of temptation out there.

And he was handsome, too.

He could obviously have options if he put himself out there, but he didn't see any woman in his life apart from me.

I was his wife...

And he'd made a vow on our wedding, till death do us part.
