She Texts

She is angry. She has a right to be. I was possibly the shittiest husband on record. But still, she is angry. One of the few benefits to being tossed out is that I don't have that anger in my face all day, every day. She usually keeps it to herself, and, I hope, her therapist. We can talk civilly about the kids and financial issues, even getting friendly once in a while.

But sometimes she boils over. And then she starts texting me. I don't mean the occasional "You're an asshole." Even daily would be within reason. But no. I mean she texts. 63 so far since 8, and she's still going strong. In the last month, 782 texts, all sent on 8 days.

I'm trying not to be an asshole. I'm making the effort to show her I am sorry for hurting her. But on days like this, I just turn off the phone.

I can't wait for this to get better.
