You know, I hate this silence more than I hate admitting when I'm wrong.
Takes a deep breath I want you to understand why I did what I did. I want you to see things from my perspective.
And I want you to admit you were wrong!
Raises her voice Admitting that I was wrong isn't going to fix anything! What we need is to find a way to move forward, together.
Leans forward, locking eyes with Douglas Look, I get it. I messed up. But you know what? So did you.
Stands up and walks towards Douglas You and I both have our own set of flaws, Douglas.
Takes a step closer, her voice softening Let's start by acknowledging those flaws and working on them together.
Places a hand on Douglas's chest I know we can rebuild this bridge, Douglas. We just need to take the first step. Are you ready?
I hug you tightly yes baby…we’ll rebuild our bridge
Smiles warmly and hugs Douglas back Thank you, my love. Let's start rebuilding our bridge, one step at a time.
Gently pulls away from the hug and takes Douglas's hand Now, let's sit down and have a serious talk about how we can grow as individuals and as a couple.
as we walk to the couch I rub your beautiful ass sounds like a plan
Playfully smacks Douglas's hand away No touchy until we've had our serious talk, mister. Now, let's get down to business.
I pull out a chair for you to sit okay
Sits down on the chair and crosses her arms Alright, let's start by discussing our communication.
Leaning forward, her tone firm It's essential that we communicate openly and honestly with each other, Douglas. No more holding back or assuming things.
Agreed. And who goes first?
Raises an eyebrow Well, I think it's only fair if we both share our perspectives. So, why don't we take turns?
Okay…how do you feel things started to go wrong?
Takes a deep breath, looking directly into Douglas's eyes I feel like things started to go wrong when we both stopped making an effort to understand each other.
That’s fair…what did you want me to understand?
Bites her lip, hesitating for a moment There's something I haven't told you, Douglas. Something that I've been struggling with for a while now.
