What Did You Do! (Please Forgive Me)

Laura felt herself getting angry, she closed her eyes in an effort to relax but her anger was only escalating.  She felt getting some air would help her calm down so she got up to get dressed.   “What the hell are you doing”!  Don yelled at her.  I’m going for a drive or something, I need to get some air.   Oh so you gone run back to dude because you don’t want to hear the truth huh!  Don, I will not sit here and listen to you yell and accuse me.  She turned to look at him and her expression was like none he had seen before.  Her words were icy and threatening, I’m going to leave because I can’t take this any longer, “you bastard”.   Don was speechless, at that moment he felt like all the grief he had caused her, every tear she had cried was coming back for him like double edged blades.

She continued to glare at him, you’ve cheated and lied Don since we have been married.  You have sent all kinds of texts messages to other women, you have hooked up with women from your job, you have done many things that I have not even mentioned.  I know I lied and I know I was wrong, this is the 1st time I lied to you.   I have always been exactly where I told you I would be or right here at home.  I have’t given you any reason to doubt or question anything I say or do.  I didn’t lie about who I was going out with so I could go out and cheat I,  I have never cheated on you.   You act like I’ve done this before or as if I’ve been doing the same things you’ve been doing.   I may have been at a hotel with him but  “I DID NOT CHEAT”!

I’m glad I went back to his hotel with him, for the first time in years I had peace.  He allowed me a place and space to forget about all that was weighing me down and just be free for a little while.  You ask “What Did You Do”!  I had drinks, I talked, I listened to music, and I laughed, something I haven’t done in a long time.  I didn’t feel worthless or like I needed to be someone else or like I was an embarrassment.   Whether or not you believe me really doesn’t matter at this point.  You’ve lied and cheated so many times Don how dare you even have the nerve to say anything to me.  How dare you even question me or even go through my cell phone.  With all that you have done, you shouldn’t even feel that you have the right.

You want to ask questions Don, you need to be asking yourself, “What Did You Do”, “Don”! 

Don finally spoke up, Laura,  please forgive me.  I’m done Don, enough is enough, I’m filing for divorce.  Laura calmly picked up her purse and keys at the same time put her wedding right on the night table.  I will come back and get some of my stuff and work out the details for the rest later.  “Laura, baby wait”!  “Look, let’s talk, about this”.  There’s nothing left to talk about Don, I can’t do this anymore, I don’t want to be with you anymore.  Don’s eyes were bucked and glazed and he was speechless at that point.  He stood there watching his wife leave, with no idea what to do or say.  He never thought the tables would turn this way, no matter what happened, he never thought she would leave him.

Don snapped and shook his head as reality suddenly struck him.  “Laura” he started yelling, “Laura”!  He ran to the door and opened it in an effort to stop his wife from leaving.  He stood in the door way looking like he had seen a ghost, she was gone.  He stepped out the door as if he could see the car, “Laura” he yelled one last time, “please forgive me”, his voice trembled.

His voice still trembling, he slumped down on the porch.  “Don, What Did You Do”.

    Long time reader, first time commenter — so, thought I’d drop a comment..
    — and at the same time ask for a favor.

    Your wordpress site is very simplistic – hope you don’t
    mind me asking what theme you’re using? (and don’t mind if I steal it?
    :P)

    I just launched my small businesses site –also built in wordpress
    like yours– but the theme slows (!) the site down quite a bit.

    In case you have a minute, you can find it by searching
    for “royal cbd” on Google (would appreciate any feedback)

    Keep up the good work– and take care of yourself during the coronavirus scare!

  4. Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
    I mean, what you say is fundamental and all. However think about
    if you added some great visuals or videos to give your posts
    more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this
    website could undeniably be one of the greatest in its field.
    Awesome blog!

      Yes, I have thought about adding pictures and videos. In response to viewer comments, I added pictures and videos to some posts but not all of them will have pictures. I am in the progress of working on something separate for videos in which I hope to have added soon.

      Thank you for your comments.
