The last couple of days have been hard and stressful..
I've felt depressed, down-in-the-dumps, despondent, sad..
But.. I am he.. & he is I..
So blog.. I will..

I should have guessed there was more when my phone first rang..
"So guess what?" she said
"You know I'm never good at guessing babe.."
"I left, Roc"
"Left? What do you mean you left?"
"I packed some underwear.. Change of clothes.. And I walked."
"Jeez girl! You've only been married a year plus.. Jeez!! Wanna tell me what happened?"
"I walked in on him humping a woman in our matrimonial home. As if that wasn't enough, it was someone he had claimed was a 'family friend' in the past & I had even served drinks in the past while she waited for him!"
”Damn. Did you..? Did she..?”
”She had the guts.. pscheeww! Trust me, If I had a gun I'd have shot her.“

“I can’t afford to furnish it or anything, I’ll just put a bed down in a room & take one day at a time. His uncle has been trying to mediate and he’s been trying to apologise.. Thing is though, he always apologises but then goes on to pull the same stunt all over again.. I’m just tired”
“You guys considered counselling?”
“Yeah we’ve been to a couple of sessions.. Last week, he actually said he’s been acting that way because I dated one particular guy before I married him”
“That’s ridiculous.. you didn’t marry that guy.. you married him..”
“That’s what the counsellor said as well.. I’m just so confused, Roc… What should I do??”
“First instinct? I’d say pray.. but honestly...”
“Listen Roc… my credit is finished.. I’ll buzz you later or call me.. Hopefully you’ll be able to advice me th..”
