Fight for her, isn't she worth it?

We promised each other forever, what happened?

He sits by the same window every evening watching people and cars go by, time doesn't make sense anymore. Patrick used to have a lovely girlfriend, they were inseparable and his parents adored her. He had no doubt in his mind she was the one he would settle down with so one Christmas afternoon he proposed to her and she accepted; perfect right?

This is where the story begins. As like most couples, the first few years were so romantic and they shared everything; laughter, tears, they had no secrets and they knew each other inside out. Time is like the wind and as it passed the realities of life took control of their marriage. First of all, she was facing difficulty having a child, no problem cause he stood by her in it all. Then she began suffering depression as his family members were whispering about her which lead to her weight issues; she was getting fat! He would constantly hold her and tell her he loved her notwithstanding which she knew was a lie because he didn't realise how often he commented on other ladies' slim figure. They stopped kissing and cuddling as often a they used to. As  time passed they began to keep secrets and he started staying out late and coming home with an attitude ready for a fight.

Thinking back, he honestly doesn't know how he let it get that bad but his wife caught him in his car making out with a much younger girl and that was it!

Now, he sees her from time to time across the street or at a friend's place and the initial feelings he had for her are still there, the fire in him for her still burns. She is no longer interested in anything that has to do with him. How does he find his way back? It's been five years now, that's what pride does to a man. Isn't she worth it?

Let us not forget what our love felt like in the initial days even in the midst of our troubles, every now and again rekindle the flames. Make each other laugh again, turn each other on sexually, during dark days remember the load is shared, be understanding even when the other person is not, remind each other that even in love discipline is what maintains the order of things. Patience!Patience!! Patience!!!
