Unrecoverable

I cry Because I really hope I'm not the person he paints It's heartbreakingly awful to look at a person telling you how bad you make them feel And I just can't understand or empathise with him - this is awful too I'm listening, I'm honestly listening But why does my comment on donuts matter? Why did me closing my eyes in the back of the car at the end of the day mean more than I'm stating? I don't get it, I'm sorry, of course I'm sorry but the vitriol seems too much I hear you, but my empathy tells me you should not be near a person you view that way I don't have the energy to counter your points, after all they may be valid, they will be valid. You want someone who isn't me clearly You want someone more grateful I cry because I am not who you paint I zone out because I can't stand any more If my professional side kicks in, then I have some advice for you - don't spend your time on someone who makes you feel like that I should listen to myself

Its an observation of life not advice. We all change as time goes by. at a certain point I have seen that men get irritable. nothing seems to suit them, including their partner. Its some time a cry for help. They aren't the young virile man that they once were. Maybe he is making you feel bad because he feels bad. This can be a stage men go through. Some call it mid life crisis. The woman he adored yesterday, annoys him today. It isn't that she is annoying, its that he is annoyed. If this is what's happening in your life and I am not saying it is, but if it is, it will pass.

I appreciate your kind words and it matches the scene very well but he can still stick it where the sun doesn't shine x

Dilly, you don’t have to be anyone other than who you are. Take the brush from the hand that paints the abstract version of you and create a self portrait. What do you see?

Then move on from square 1, painting with brighter, bolder colors. No frowns, no tears...

Nothing great, but considerably better than I'm described and at least I could work on it if it's at my own hand. I'm quite sick of square 1.
