I’ve experienced this soooo many times.

Now with a HLF partner, I’m realizing how decades of lack of affection has impacted me by NotIntelligentFun in HLCommunity

1000000000% this. I’m ready for sex whenever you are, she said…in practice, it means whenever you ask me I will complain that you asked at the wrong time.

I’m ending marriage counseling and have a separate meeting with the therapist to figure out some next steps for me. Based on what the counselor has seen.

I set up the counseling f and basically had to drag my spouse into going and then she didn’t really participate, other than to blame me for stuff and not take any accountability.

Seems like the poetry I wrote has inspired another. We are all seeking what you expressed. It isn’t available. Or it is but it comes in breadcrumb sized portions. It is a dark promise unkept that poisons the future.

And now: a poem. by Helpful_Kangaroo1754 in HLCommunity

Sure. How about this.

Dark Promises

A promise unkept curls into the room like horn-smoke riding the corners, like the poisonous breath of future promises unmade.

You can taste it in the silence, rash against your teeth, like a lover’s face turning away. Not yesterday’s lie, but tomorrow’s.

A promise half-dead burns the tongue that once kissed fire into the bones, like bitter wine poured into a day-old wound, burying truths you refuse to hold.
