All Apologies

Single Gal here.

For this post, I muse on all the apologies I’ll never hear from Ex. Yes, it’s my blog, and I’ll fantasize if I want to.

Scene: Ex looks at my wistfully and with complete adoration. Clasping my hand in his, he looks up at me, a single tear strewn down his face, and delivers these heartfelt phrases in utter sincerity:

• I’m sorry that in ten years I never once learned how to use the dishwasher, the toaster oven, or the mop.
• I’m sorry for all the nights I stole the sheets, waking you up in the night and making your toes cold
• I’m sorry that I treated every holiday and occassion like it was a chore. You deserved a day of appreciation, and I will forever regret that I didn’t put forth more effort.
• I’m sorry I judged your friends, making sly comments and uncomfortable statements when I know how much they mean to you.
• I’m sorry my mother never liked you much.
• I’m sorry that I didn’t appreciate your sense of humor, your generosity, or your thoughtfulness more. I know I’ll regret this when my next woman lacks in all these areas.
• I’m sorry I gave you a hard time every time you went to get the car repaired. You didn’t understand enough about what the repair men were telling you to make informed decisions, and I should have done that for you.
• I’m sorry I quit our marriage.
• I’m sorry that I never remembered your favorite chocolate was dark, and always got your caramel.
• I’m sorry that I took away our opportunity for relative financial comfort and stability, and that I’ve now thrust you out there into an unknown world and uncertain future.
• I’m sorry that I won’t be around for our next big adventure. You were always good at finding an adventure and keeping my life interesting.
• I’m sorry that I’m sorry. That for the next year, we’ll need to untangle ourselves from this relatively good life, that just wasn’t good enough for me.
