Intro
When did it start being like this? I wondered as I pushed the cart through the supermarket.
Lately, my husband is all about work and doesn't even look my way. The last time I remember him being kind was right after our honeymoon.
Whenever he comes home, it's always the same: "Where's dinner?", "The bath is lukewarm," "This is why you're useless," "You'd be lost without me."
As I reach for a pack of ground meat with a sigh, my hand bumps into a man's hand reaching from the side.
