"Can you please stop talking to me like this?" I said with irritation, "I am not a kid."

"Yes, you are." he said, "We both are."

Huh?

No, I wasn't a kid, but he was! But well, I might prove his point if I argued about it now!

"The first thing we need to do is stop using this 'I'll leave you' bullshit! Most of our past conversations have ended because of that." He said.

Ummm... I mean, he might not be wrong, but... I had reasons to leave him. I thought he had betrayed me.

"Okay, I'll try not to say that again." I said.

I mean, I could try, but couldn't promise it!

Ummm... Why can't I promise it?

He never cheated on me.

He suffered more than he should.

We had a sweet, small world with two amazing daughters, and we could make it even more perfect now that all the misunderstandings were clear.

Did I really want to leave everything?

Yeah, I didn't have any reason to leave him, unless he started acting like an asshole, like he was behaving right now!

But... He was right.

I needed to give him more time.

I should try to put myself in his shoes. I should understand that he had been trying so hard to make up for the mistake that he didn't even commit!

And now everything had been a big lie, and of course, he would be mad!

And... Let's be real! He couldn't be an asshole even if he wanted to! I mean, the way I had behaved on some occasions, he could have certainly turned into an asshole, but he didn't!

So... Shouldn't I put in more effort?

Shouldn't I try harder to understand him?

Shouldn't I have more faith in him?

"I promise I won't say that again," I said.

"Sounds good." He said like an asshole. Well, I was ready to put in more effort, but I couldn't deny the fact that he was showing way too much attitude right now!

"There are a few things I need to work on... I'm extremely mad at you because of some of your past actions." He said, "But... At the same time I know that there is no point crying about it. I know you had your reasons to be mad at me, and I understand your point."

Yeah, I had my reasons to be mad at him, but I realized that I could have handled it a bit differently!

"But I will learn to deal with it. We need to focus on the future." He continued, "Because even if there is no fucking clarity in my mind right now... I always know that I love you and you're what I want in my life," he said as he looked into my eyes.

That did some unknown things to my heart.

I hadn't felt like this in... years.

He had told me this million times in the last few years, but I never believed him.

Those were just plain words to me.

But everything was different today.

I could see it today that he had always been the same guy I fell in love with!

He was always the same.

He had always loved me.

I just... couldn't see it.

"Nothing is ever going to change that. Whatever the hell is going on here right now..." He pointed his finger toward his head, "I promise it's temporary and it's going to go away. You need to be a little patient with me. Please!"

"I'm... I'm really ashamed of some of my behavior... " I said.

I really was.

I punished him way too much!

"I wish I could go back and change everything I did... Everything I said..." I felt like my eyes began to fill with tears, "But I promise I'll make sure it never happens again."

"So where does this take us?" He said as he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer.

Where does that take us?

What did he mean?

"Somewhere better? Didn't we waste too much time already?" I said.

"I don't know..." he said, "I mean, we are talking like this right now, but what's guarantee that we won't start fighting again tomorrow?"

"Should we try some counseling or something?" I said, "I promise I don't want anything but this."

He glared at me.

"What?" I said.

"Oh, who told you the last time we tried it that the marriage counseling is just bullshit... blah, blah!" He said.

"You're such a hypocrite! You just said we need to focus on the future!" I said, "I'm embarrassed about my mistakes, but... can you please stop?"

"Alright, alright... I'm sorry about that. I couldn't help it." He chuckled.

"Yeah, right. You..." I tried to say something, but his hungry kiss didn't let me complete my sentence.

A/N: Sorry for the slow updates! I have really been busy!
