I didn’t fight to break down those barriers. Instead, I poured all my focus into work because that was easier than getting my wife to open up to me. I once made an effort to notice all the little things and cater to her every need, but then I became obsessed with the money I was making and the opportunities that came along. I was finally experiencing what validation felt like after years of feeling like I wasn’t good enough, but I lost sight of her in the process.
I *love* that this wasn’t a situation of her being a bitch or cheating or whatever, and that he’s immediately taking responsibility for how he failed in the relationship
