I thought my marriage was going well until my friend asked me a question.
I married young, swept up in love. Wed been together four years before tying the knot, and wed been through a lot.
Weve lived together for over six years now. I trust my husband completelyjust as I trust myself. Hes sweet, caring, and always helps with chores around the house. Hes not the bravest or strongest bloke, and you wouldnt call him handsome, but hes got a heart of gold. His endless optimism and belief in good things keep me going, even in the toughest times.
But hes indecisive. He wont step out of his comfort zone or push forward in life. Hes painfully shy, too. In all these years together, he hasnt changed a bit.
He doesnt take care of himself or his health. The slightest change unsettles him. Hes nearly ten years older than meIm twenty-six, and I love life. Ive got a great job, bought my own car, and were paying off the mortgage on our house in Manchester. Then, the other day, my mate asked me, What do you even need him for?
That was the end of my happiness. Now Im left sitting here, wonderingwhat *do* I need him for?
