Beth loved Daryl so much that the first time he cheated on her and lied about it, she vowed her undying love to make him love her more. The second time, she lost ten pounds, applied makeup, made fabulous meals. The third, she hit herself for having messed up.
“How? How can I make you happy?” she asked.
“It’s not you, babe. It’s me,” he said.
She hoped, reading ‘Relationship Repair.’
Then she caught him sexting.
“Why? Why?” she sobbed.
“It’s not you, babe. It’s me.”
Now realizing his one truth, she set her future free.
“Get the heck out, Daryl!”
Oh yes, ‘Get the heck out!” I wanted to say this to her from the first line!
A lot of emotion contained in just a few words.
Thanks. Sadly, so many women hang on for so long.
It takes a long time for many of us, and for others, that freedom never comes. Well portrayed.
Well constructed – as always, Lisa
