How long can you expect her to put up with your shit before she breaks and has had enough. You are **engaged**, but that really means fuck all in the grand scheme of things. Your silicon ring means nothing if you're a fucking dick. And today you were exactly that. While laying in bed and looking at you she said *"Maybe you should just let it all out after work, you can't keep it all in **all the time.**"* It's painful and ironic to hear words like that because you have been raised under the "The F-Word is Feelings, Not Fuck" philosophy and understand fully that nobody cares, nobody is coming to help, nobody is really listening and you should really just keep your head down and get back to work. I have long since achieved the supernatural ability of "Emotional Lightswitch" and unfortunately have utilized it most at the most inconvenient times. You know this is the wrong way to live, but you figure that you're "this far" into it (it being life) and have worked out a system that works. It works for the most part, albeit not exactly the best conduit for prolonged periods of happiness, or happiness much at all. But now the precious soul who has dedicated the rest of their natural life to be there with me, and me there with her – is telling me the exact opposite. What's a boy to do? You have stoic coins next to your wallet that you carry around at work so don't lose your mind—but you can't fucking follow those same tenets while at home? If Christina thinks you whining like a bitch after work is going to alleviate some stress—maybe you give it a shot. You got forty+ years of proof that what you do does not work. --- ``` Bryce Dessner – Acquired Savant Syndrome (The Accountant 2) ``` ``` via <a href="https://www.wmprkr.xyz/music/">local audio</a> ```
