We are so dysfunctional. Two rams butting heads. There never is a right, or wrong. We know each other's pressure points. Mine: college dropout, yet privileged by the help of the family I was born into. Alcoholic father who lies. Him: unemployed, *******, doesn't love me. Today, in the middle of one of our worst fights I was sobbing. Suddenly he stepped forward and said, "baby, don't cry." He held me for a few seconds until he realized I wasn't going to stop and for some reason, it annoyed him. The chaos continued. Somehow we always end up apologizing and saying I love you I love you I love you. We are a little toxic for each other, but too crazy for the other to end after two years. I just think it's weird how love works. It can cover up even the wounds we think won't heal.
