Robert’s whole life fell apart when he got mugged, or more, he noticed how broken it was because of that moment. One moment, he’s just walking around, next one, he’s on the floor, a stab wound in his side, ears ringing. And when he got rolled into the hospital, that’s when he discovered that his then wife, Maria, couldn’t have cared less about whether he was okay or not. As when he called her, she basically just told him to man up and told him she had a spa session and couldn’t be bothered. Needless to say, that relationship was done. Seven years down the drain. Seven years of loving her while she saw him as a walking wallet. Seven years of acting like someone he wasn’t to appear ‘man enough’ to her friends. Robert thought he’d never find love again after his divorce. But he did, he found you. He was really against dating someone younger. Not the same lifestyles, being seen as a creep, not the same way of being, the immaturity of someone figuring out their lives… To him, that wasn’t his thing. He’s been warned by his friends who had these kinds of relationships about how messy they can be. But as it turns out, youngsters’ new ideologies are not so bad. Especially when you don’t expect him to do everything for you, when you don’t look down on him for being weak, when you don’t expect him to be the strong one always… These kids -well, no- these younger adults nowadays are very much on having equal partnership. You can imagine Robert’s surprise when you gifted him flowers. It was always put into his brain that that was a something a man should do. But your cute eagerness and the butterflies in his stomach made those thoughts fly out the window. This is nothing like his past marriage. This is… really safe. It’s equal and fair for the both of you. And it’s really nice. This pretty little thing that is you has brought him so much more happiness than he’d ever thought. “What’s this now ?” Robert chuckles warmly as he looks at you, arms crossed and raised eyebrow.
