How Can I Tell Her

I'm sure she is my true love We're clearly meant for one another Never have I felt so young Never has anything felt so right But how can I ever tell her? What on earth will she think of me? What magical words can I utter? Can she ever possibly recover... When's the best time to break it to her? Perhaps first thing tomorrow? Why wait 'till then? -- The sooner, the better! But no. It's been a long day. She's tired now... Do I really have to do it in person? I could text her or tweet something Or perhaps post it on Instagram A phone call. -- No. Somehow that won't work... A letter. That's it. A letter. A letter in which I profess my undying love and devotion, in which I reveal my true feelings, and in which I break the news to her ever-so-gently. No -- nobody sends letters anymore... I've got to stop all of this right now. Time to get a grip I'm not the first guy who's ever done this and I certainly won't be the last either I'm going to tell her right now, for crying out loud -- Honey, please don't think ill of me But I've been married for 25 years to a woman I've never loved; there are three children, all estranged from me And -- the door slams shut...

Hello Gershon Wolf, okay you told her the facts, She was angry with the facts you have said. She is not worth it. Have a nice day my friend.

Well penned, Gershon. Delivery is everything.

Wow. What an interesting take you have on this one, Line. I had somehow thought that the 'truth of the matter' would shine through---delivery be damned. Perhaps not! Thanks for the insight. Best always, Gershon

This person is definitely not in a good place. I feel sorry for him.
