i think i want a divorce
The story
i think i want a divorce, and it's been on my mind for ages. like, i'm sitting here just daydreaming about what life would be if it was just me, you know? the little things my partner does used to be cute and quirky but now they're just annoying. like when they chew super loud or leave their socks everywhere... no one's perfect, but man, these things really bug me lately 😩. it's like every time i turn around there's something else that grates on my nerves.
so i talked to a friend about it the other day. she said some stuff that really made me question everything even more. 'are you sure you're not just bored?' she asked. that's a valid point because after all these years sometimes i can't tell if it's boredom or resentment or both! part of me feels guilty for feeling this way, like i'm betraying something sacred. maybe this is just a rough patch and i'll snap out of it soon, but then again maybe not? i'm over-analytical by nature so naturally i've been picking apart every little detail in our relationship hoping to find some clarity, but mostly it's left me spinning my own wheels without getting anywhere interesting. when did this become so complicated?
