The Ice Wall of a Marriage
Marriage is a room with no fireplace.
You expect histrionics, but I’ve mastered the art of the chill. A misplaced spoon? A cold bed? These are not misfortunes—they’re declarations. My husband’s heartbreak lingers like a draft under the door. I collect small disappointments: a hobby that requires no companionship.
What I'm Into: well-ordered kitchen drawers, withholding affection, pruning roses until they bleed, silent bedtime rituals, cataloging my husband's failures
