What If He Means It?
Tales of a Newlywed
I expected Prince Charming to come crawling back. I figured he would be very sorry after the fact. Telling me things like, "I will change, I love you, I'm sorry, things will be different, just give me one more chance". Sure enough he has left several voicemails and emails saying just these things and lots more.
The problem is that I thought I would be a lot stronger. I didn't think I would miss him and I sure didn't think I would be interested in hearing anything he had to say much less believing it.
I figured he would start talking and I would simply roll my eyes and say too "little, too late". But I guess if my failed marriage has taught me anything it is that things NEVER go the way you think they will.
Now he is saying everything I want to hear: He will treat me better. I can travel, go to school, and do whatever else I want. He will help will the housework. He will be emotional supportive and so on so forth. On one hand I am just like whatever dude all you are trying to do is say whatever you got to say to get me back, and then you will just go back to being the world's being jackass.
However, on the other hand, what if he is serious? What if he means everything he is saying? What if this is just the wake-up call he needed to know that I am just not going to take it anymore? This has got me thinking what if I gave him another chance? Just ONE more chance. Just go back to him and see if he really means what he says. I can always just pick up and leave again if it is still the same. I could just give him a certain amount of time and see if he acts any different.
Once that time is up I will know if he meant it or not. If he did then we could have a whole new beginning. If he didn't mean it then I could just leave again. Why would I have to lose? And if he does mean it I could have everything to gain.
I haven't made a decision yet this idea is just flowing around in my head. I only know one thing I don't want to look back and have any regrets. Years from now I never want to feel like there was more I could have done to try and make my marriage work and I didn't.
