Betty's P. O. V.

I've had enough with peter.

We've raised three beautiful children together, but he still doesn't have any sense of responsibility. He has to realize that we aren't teenagers anymore. I've grown up, and so should he. All he does is go to the bar and drink while I'm at home making dinner for our kids.

"Betty hand be another beer, eh?"

Ugh.

I've come to the decision that after my three children grow up and move out of the house, I'm going to leave peter once and for all. I'm kind of nervous, though I know he will do nothing to fight for me, I mean throughout our whole relationship, Peter hasn't once fought on my behalf. He never gets jealous when I'm with another guy, he never backs me up when someone disses me, nothing.

I hand peter the bottle of alcohol, condensation already forming on the green glass.

I never feel as if peter truly loves me. I mean I guess some people consider him trusting in me to not cheat but I don't think that's the reason why he never got jealous. He never got jealous because he never really loved me.

Yet I still come back for more.

Because...

I'm completely in love with a man who will never truly love me.
