Ray and Neela for some time have been having some marriage issues. Since Ray's injury he has been doing great, he felt like his old self until he had a set back. One morning when he woke up he could barely move his legs. He was so sore, and this day was a very important day for him he was up for a very big job interview since he could not make it the job was given to another doctor and Ray resented the fact he was in the situation he was in. Neela tried to console him and tell him it was not that important but, he just pushed her away. Neela understood at first but after time she started to feel as if he was blaming her again for what happened so many years ago. Their sex life changed Ray was always very aggressive and Neela would reciprocate back but lately Ray would not touch her the same. Then when they would speak it would always end up in an argument. Neela could see her happy life just deteriorating right in front of her eyes. Luckily they would put a front when jasmine was around. But, it was killing her inside.
"Ray would you like something from the kitchen?"
"Like what Neela?" with an attitude in his voice, this was the normal way ray would speak to Neela lately.
"I don't know some tea, coffe…"
"You know what I'll get it my self."
"I can do."
"I'm not a cripple Neela I can do myself" Ray said with a harsh tone.
"Fine Ray I'm going to bed."
"Okay"
"You can't even say good night?"
"Neela what do you want from me? Okay Goodnight Neela I hope you have a good sleep." Ray said very sarcastically
"You know what Ray; I'm not even going to argue with you anymore, I'm tired."
Neela walked out of the room.
"Whatever" said Ray
