Her third marriage was supposed to be the charm. Eighteen years into it, when she thought she found her forever love, her world fell apart. He couldn’t handle when she needed him most.
This must be so difficult for her !!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading and having an emotional response. Much appreciated!
DeleteThat's an interesting way to do this one... nice, Maggie.
ReplyDeleteVery sad, but a nice use of the prompt. :)
ReplyDeletesadly too true for many marriages. :(
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading and commenting. I feel for anyone who has so many years in a marriage and the vows are not honored when it gets tough or sickness happens.
ReplyDeleteLove your creative use of the prompt Maggie! And her longing comes through beautifully. So sad when those moments change everything like that.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Suzanne. Yes, it is. Multiple marriages isn't something one usually plans for. *sigh*
DeleteMaybe for her, fourth time will be the charm )':
ReplyDeleteIt's always terrible to come across the one thing that can break something good. Here's hoping she can recover and bounce back. Thank you for linking up.
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading and commenting. Fortunately she has already bounced back ;-O
DeleteThat's how it goes too often.
ReplyDeleteIt's sad when time erodes what was once strong.
ReplyDeleteI love this one Maggie! Sad that this happens all too often, but I'm hoping that fourth time might be the charm for her:)
ReplyDeleteIt is. Too late for a fifth anyway. lol. Wonderful husband to grow old with.
DeleteWhat an awful feeling of disappointment. Very good putting so much emotion in just a few words.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bo. Am glad the feeling came through even if not a good feeling.
DeleteA let down third time after 18 years sounds really bad....
ReplyDeleteIt's devastating. This is me again. Brian is such a wonderful husband...together 12 years before married. He saw me through an even dozen surgeries between 2007 and last year. And that wasn't what 18-year husband couldn't deal with. Brian knew early on and was fine knowing and supporting. My life is a novel. Honestly.
DeleteI am afraid that this is all too true. Been there. Well done!
