Chapter Nine: Life Support:

What is the point? You are just hanging on. You and your partner are not happy. You either fight or not talk to either other. What happened? What went wrong? When did the love die? This isn’t you. This wasn’t supposed to be you. What happened?

But you won’t let go? Why is that? You clearly aren’t happy. Why not just leave? You have many reasons, or rather, excuses why. Obligation. Pity. Fear of being alone. You are just hanging on for the hell of it. Your partner knows it. Everyone around you knows it. You even know it and wish that you didn’t. But you can’t let go. Why can’t someone from the outside pull you out? Would that even work? Would even you or your partner listen?

This is not healthy. You know that. So why? It does not have to be like this. You know this. Do you deny it? Do you wish it wasn’t so? This is not healthy. No words are getting to you or your partner. Your relationship is in a coma and on life support. There is no hope for it. It’s brain dead, a shell. Just do yourselves a favor and pull the plug. You both will be much happier for it.

I apologize for bringing you all down like this. My final observation will lighten the mood. I hope.
