So I picked my wife up from work today and she was in a bad mood. I ignored her and then proceeded to stick my foot in my mouth and saying: Melo: I applied for that job in Puerto Rico W: Why??(one week prior she said "if you get an interview for the job you are going to take it right? And then joked about going with me) M:Because your parents are moving down there and eventually you the kids will move down there W: My parents aren't going for another 2-3 years M:I figured I would see what the job market looks like now W:We couldn't go anyway because D11's Dad is here M:Yeah W:I thought you hated PR? M:I don't hate PR I never thought about going back but it's a possibility now besides we had talked once about going for a few years so the kids could learn Spanish W:We no longer function as a couple. We can function well as a family for the kids but not as a couple, there is too much emptiness between us. M:I never mentioned us as a couple, I just know that if you and the kids move I don't want to be far from the kids W:I know, the kids are what's killing me M:??(Thinking to myself don't mess this up, validate and don't say anything...sh@t how did she trap me here?!)Mmmhmm W:I fell out of love and you did too, a marriage doesn'y get this bad if only one person feels empty.I can't live like that anymore.I did it for too long. I don't deserve to live like that. That's not what marriage is supposed to be, I refuse to go back to that. M:(taking deep breaths and saying"ok") W:I don't believe in love, I don't need anything but my kids, that's it. I am going to end up like my ex husband's aunt who never had a relationship and was alone(gets out of the van) M: (nods head) W: (closes the door angrily) So okay what just happened there??!!?! And I bet you $5 she is going to try and continue the conversation later...what do I do??!!
