Can’t you do anything right? Every other woman has a husband that is good at something. It could be fixing things around the house, cleaning, cooking, or even sex. The fact is that you are good at nothing. When are you going to get better Luke? We have been married for 11 years. You keep saying be patient with me, but it looks like you are getting worst. Even your daughter does not want to be around you. She keep telling me mommy you do it because, daddy never do anything right. DOI have to do everything? One of these days I am going to divorce you, and get myself a real man. You have been looking for a better job for eight years now, and can not even get one. If you were a real man, you will have a better job by now. I do not want to hear, you are trying your best. Lora got up and left Luke at the table. That was their argument almost every morning, for the last two years.
Luke is not a bad guy. You can say things; just do not go his way. When most men are cheating on their wives, Luke is mostly working trying to hold the bills together. Some times he is so tired; he does not know how he makes it. There are times he wants to lash out and say, if he did not take care of her before he would not be in all this mess. The only reason he was in this mess, was because of love. He was trying to help her, and forgot all about himself. The fact is he loves her now, as much he loved her in the past. Their marriage has been cold and distant. Lora enjoys talking to her friends, instead of talking to him. When he calls to say hello, and say love you. She would say, I do not want to talk to you, and do not ask me how I feel. Let me talk to Tanya. She do not want to talk to you she, she is playing with her toys. Is there anything else? Then Luke will say no, and she will hang up the phone. When he comes home from work, and tries to hug her, she will push him away and tells him he is not man enough. Even with his daughter, he would try to hug and kiss her. She would cry and run straight to mommy. They would be nights; he would leave the house, and go for long drives. He can’t sleep a wink anyway. One time he did not sleep for three weeks.
