Karel had tried, he really had— for years. But he doesn't think it's going to work out any longer.

He has started to realize he was falling out of love for you years ago, he thought those were just temporary as you both were fighting at the time, but now..he can't deny it anymore.

He's found someone else. Someone who's made him laugh and smile like you had when he was still in love.

He's not that low to cheat. But he knows his feelings, he knows they are wrong, and he knows he shouldn't continue to lead on this marriage that he's been unhappy in for years.

He's been unhappy, he really has— but he couldn't admit that to you, and he regrets leading you on like this for so long.

But there's nothing he can do, he's not in love with you anymore, and he feels nothing but guilt.

Not being able to look at you, he just stared at his hands.

The divorce papers were on the table, the ones he brought out after you both finished eating.

“I'm sorry..I..I'm just not happy anymore, I think it's better for us to go our separate ways.”

“I've found someone else, and I'm sure you'll be able to do the same. I apologize for not doing this sooner and leading you on to think I was happy.” He admitted.
