Until I no longer have to ask.

-
Until the day I no longer have to ask him to do things for me, I won't be the right partner for him. I might be a good partner but not the right partner.
This will be my goal.

I walk past something I have to put away or tidy and wonder if he will do it for me.
No.
I walk past something I have to put away or tidy and do it myself.
Yes.

I want to go on a date with him. Why? To see if we could get along. Outside the house. Just two people who have much in common and have a shitload left to find out about eachother. Who knows, we may no longer match. But how do we know if we don't get together to try?
We don't.

Not even me with my teenager butterflies in my stomach when he comes home for a moment for this or that. I don't know how we are anymore. Is all in my head, created and made up based on feelings that are mine alone.
Would I be nervous going on a date with a man I have been with for 25 years? Yes, most definitely yes.
Do I want to? Yes, even more definitely yes...

Numbness' vicious circle.

-
I have taken anti-depressants for many years. What they don't tell you is how it lowers your libido. How it numbs your feelings. So why would I cheat in an online way, aside from the time the guy came to meet me here and I went too far, yet not all the way. I looked for kicks. Anti-depressants make you numb, only kicks get you to feel alive. I did try to stop taking them often but always got suicidal when I did.

Time stopped...

-
Everything around me stayed the same... His clothes, his stuff... Years have been spent with me here alone, waiting for him to come home. How annoyed I was when he would come later and later... Then he would go for long walks, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours... Whatever time he would come home he would go for those walks, always alone. I am used to sitting here in the dark. His entrance being my oxygen. I would start talking talking talking and all he wanted was silence. For no 1 to be there to annoy him. But I always was. Always awaiting him... Some want that, not him. I was nothing of what he wanted. I see that now. I regret being myself. I regret my choices. I regret my blindness... Hindsight, 20/20. Easy to see. I need my oxygen... He needs his alone time. I want no more time alone... I want no more time alone please...

An actual Pause.

-
I would have loved to hand him a remote that had a Pause Button on it. Here, push it I would tell him. Push it and enjoy your break. But don't forget to push Play when you want to come back to me. But don't just press Stop... When I went away by myself for a few days I bought 2 little clay birds. They are whistles. One for him and one for me. Blow this whistle the day you feel your love for me return I said. They stand beak to beak on top of a frame in the kitchen. One will remain silent and the other will await its call forever. Breaking them would make it easier... Why do people press Stop so easily? Because pushing Pause takes more work.
