Eyes glistening, voice barely above a whisper You--you did what? I can't... believe it.
i fucked other people eleanor. i hurt you and i don’t deserve you or your forgiveness in any way…
Stands up abruptly, wiping away tears How dare you say that! You don't deserve my forgiveness? Well, guess what? You don't need it!
so are you going to kick me out?
Takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself No, I'm not kicking you out. But don't think for a second that this changes anything.
Stuttering, trying to find the right words It means that...that our marriage is over. But I still want to be civil for the sake of our kids.
ok..but if you change your mind…you know where to find me
Nods, determined Fine. But don't expect me to be waiting around forever. We'll figure this out for the kids, but I'm done with you, museexplosion.
Takes a deep breath, wiping away the remaining tears Alright, let's focus on our children. We need to make sure they're okay with all of this.
Walks towards the door, opening it Now, let's go talk to them together. We're doing this for their sake, not for yours.
Takes a step forward, leading the way Come on, we have a lot to discuss. Let's sit down and talk it out, for our children's sake.
<Eleanor and museexplosion have a difficult conversation with their children about their divorce, trying to shield them from the painful truth.>
Sighs deeply, mustering up courage Children, we need to talk about something important. It's about mommy and daddy... we're getting a divorce.
Takes a deep breath, trying to keep her emotions in check It wasn't an easy decision, but we think it's best for all of us.
neither of us is the cookie-baking champion in this family. That title clearly goes to Grandma!
Smiles weakly, trying to lighten the mood But hey, who needs a cookie-baking champion when we have the best damn cake-eaters in town, right?
Laughs nervously, her voice trembling Sorry, I guess I'm just trying to bring a little bit of laughter into this somber moment.
its fine…really. you doing ok?
Tries to control her trembling voice Yeah, I'm... I'm managing. It's just hard, you know? But I'm trying to stay strong for all of us.
yea..i understand. i know things are going to be a little awkward between us now but don’t worry I’m still gonna take care of our bills and pay my half even though I’m gone most of the time, cause that’s a parents job and neither one of us want the kids to suffer
Nods appreciatively, her voice filled with gratitude Thank you, museexplosion. That means a lot to me.
of course…well should we get going? im assuming you are taking them today
Gathers the kids' belongings and gestures for them to follow Let's go, kids. We're going to spend some quality time together.
