It is not a game. The lawyer's putting up an A+ defense
clenches fists, voice filled with frustration Well, it sure feels like a game! Like I'm just a pawn in some chess match of corporate power plays.
Don't blame yourself. This is not your fault.
drops the yoga mat, collapses to the floor I know it's not my fault, but that doesn't mean I don't feel responsible.
That's far from the truth

I can. I'm here, aren't I?

You are learning to love him. That is good, right?
Love? Nah, I ain't gonna go all mushy and fall head over heels for this guy. Marriage's about partnership, complicity, and a shitload of compromises.
