Right, fate or not.
That’s the part I was stuck in, the part where you accept the apology because it’s easier than addressing the root of the problem.
Until that becomes the root of the problem itself.
They say that when you remember something, you are really remembering the last time you remembered it. Each time you recollect a memory, you change it, ever so slightly, shading it with new information, new feelings.

Spelled different too.
It’s very easy to rationalize what you’re doing when you don’t know the faces and the names of the people you might hurt. It’s very easy to choose yourself over someone else when it’s an abstract.
My guess: There’s a good reason for that.
Sometimes divorce isn’t an earth-shattering loss. Sometimes it’s just two people waking up out of a fog.
Much like a marriage can be two people walking into one.
