Just as you cannot run your business without a phone, we cannot have a successful marriage, either financially or emotionally, without commitment.
You are demanding that I asking me to renew a multi-year contract in my name to provide you with a cell phone. Without any commitment from you to our marriage, I have no reason to believe that I will meet the two year contract term and I will be subject to early termination fees.
When we started to discuss this a few days ago, you hung up on me. If you want to have a conversation with me, and you want me to respond to your texts, I expect to be treated respectfully. --------> move this to make it the OPENING paragraph.
This isn't a matter of control; it's uncertainty. The reality of our situation is that some decisions that used to be simple in a long term committed relationship may no longer make sense for me.
My position regarding our marriage has not changed. If you commit to working with me seriously, honestly and exclusively, I have committed to you that I will put everything on the table so that we can start fresh and find solutions that satisfy both of us.
