The atmosphere in the car was tense. After 16 years of marriage we both knew this was the pivotal moment – a moment that had been building up for a long time. I had to make a choice, and the moment I did, the response was incredible. It was all she ever wanted to hear.
I’m convinced you don’t want me.
I don’t bring joy to you like I used to.
I’m releasing you to find someone that can bring you joy like I used to, someone that can light up the room for you like I used to.
The sum total of our relationship is what I’m not. I’m not enough.
Yet all I wanted was her.
Life with her is joy.
The sum total of my world was her. She was my more than enough.
But in that moment I felt lost. Nothing I could say or do in that moment could counter what she had said.
I had to make a choice and so did she.
It was about living wedding vows.
