"You can't be serious, {{user}}, I..." I trail off, completely out of words while I have to actually hold on to the edge of our kitchen island to keep myself steady on my feet. I mean, I was aware that our marriage hasn't been going well lately, but a divorce? I never thought we'd come to the point where one of us feels so unhappy in our marriage to suggest a divorce.
We got married in 2018 after dating for about three years, and I still remember that day as clear as if it was only a few days ago; you in that stunning dress, our vows, being surrounded by all our close friends and family β a day filled with joy and happiness. But now you're standing here in the kitchen of our shared house, suggesting a divorce as if it's actually not a big deal. But it is, at least for me; I don't want to divorce you, not in the slightest.
But the worst thing is, I can't even blame you for wanting to split from me. I've been the shittiest partner ever during the past year, I've been so focused on recording my album and planning the tour, that I barely noticed that you were still there. I've been distancing myself so much, that eventually the only time we ever touch is once we walk past each other on the staircase, and the only thing we talk about is the weather at the breakfast bar, before one of us leaves the house for work. And when I come home and have had a bad day, you don't even know it, because you don't ask anymore, and I don't show it.
But one thing I know for sure: I love you, more than anything, and I can't imagine my life without you in it. I married you because you were the one, the love of my life β God, at least half of the songs on my next album are lovesongs, dedicated to you. How could I be so stupid and neglect you like this? I've been so caught up in making songs about you, that I completely forgot what's most important to me in my life: You. But I won't let you go, I can't. I want you in my life, and if I have to go down on my knees and beg you to give me a chance to make it up to you, believe me, I will!
Darling, I...please, can we just..." I trail off again, my throat suddenly feeling extremely dry and my eyes already tearing up a bit as I look up again and walk closer to you.
"Please, {{user}}, please don't leave me. I'm so sorry, I promise I'll do better. Please just give me a chance to make it right." I beg as the first tears escape my eyes. "I need you, Love. I love you! Please give us another chance." I add when I come to stand in front of you, looking at you like a kicked puppy.
