Slip Away

I was waiting for my husband today and this song just struck a cord in my heart.

It is about a man having an affair with a married woman. How he asks her to “Slip Away” to meet him. His voice had that deep, passionate tone to it which moved my soul but then it struck me…

I will only briefly had that with my husband. I was too emotional and difficult for it to continue long term. After therapy, there was no going back for him.

My husband and I are “comfortable”. He hasn’t told me he loves me in more than three years and I aggravate him at every turn. I am very sure he regrets us moving here. I don’t. We will never speak of it a and I work very hard to not make matters worse. I enjoy our life together.

At this point in my life, I don’t even want to look for it. I know I’m a difficult person. I have seen more in my life than most people. The legacy of my childhood has left scars and my line of work, most certainly, did not help. It is who I am.
