Should You Leave Your Emotionally Unavailable Spouse?
This Reddit post gave me pause. First of all because the OP is a stay at home mom (Didn’t know those really existed anymore.) And also, because she laments that it is hard to be married to a slightly self-centered roommate rather than a husband or partner.

Beloved
Flowers cascade down the aisles of a quiet church, the pews filled with friends and loves ones. At the alter stand the largest of the arrangements, fragrant flowers wafting their perfume, through the chapel, certain to create and evoke scent memories in future recollections of this day. The parishioners file in and will soon file out, with whispers of, “It was a beautiful service,” “The flowers were so lovely,” and “I’m sorry for their loss. His passing was long in coming, but so sudden.”

I was just trying to survive the silence between us, the way we'd stopped touching each other, the way conversations had become transactions about groceries and schedules instead of anything that mattered.

The Girl I Loved and Hated at the Same Time
The First Time I Met Her The first time I met Emma, I honestly didn’t like her at all, and if someone had told me that she would later become one of the most important people in my life, I probably would have laughed and walked away without believing a single word. It was during my first week at a new job in the city, when everything already felt overwhelming and unfamiliar, and the last thing I needed was someone who seemed confident, sarcastic, and slightly irritating in a way that made me feel like she could read every thought passing through my mind.
