Yea, that's a great one, except for a few key issues you are overlooking: 1) You never made a vow in front of your loved ones and God that you would be committed to the bill collector's happiness and welfare for life, for better or worse of his behavior 2) the bill collector just wants the money, no matter how rude you are or selfish you are 3) you are offering the most unselfish gift and wonderful gift in life (your own love) and honoring the original commitment while the bill collector (spouse on the run) is running over your feelings, playing games with your trust, telling mutual friends and family things you don't even know about while you try to guess what they are thinking, and handing your chopped up heart back to you on a paper plate, while you are waiting faithfully, reading self-help books, looking inward and looking for any sign, no matter how small to give you clarity on the very issues your bill collector (spouse) is too busy hiding from you as they run amok creating destruction in their wake. But still, you hang in there, holding onto what you know is right and good, forgiving them for insulting the very love you have offered them unselfishly as your heart lies on the floor in a pool of your own vomit. Would you do that for a bill collector? I sure would not. Yet, here I am holding on to that last ounce of hope that my spouse actually has the ability to be accountable to our vows.
