A wave of sadness

I am sorting through my jewelry and we are going through our filing cabinet.  And a wave of tears just washed over me.

When you plan your whole life with someone.  When you dream together.  When you invest in them, the relationship, and your shared goals.  When you plan for a retirement together.

To see all that crumble in such a tangible way as untangling all those material things that represent your life together is heartbreaking.

All because he took the easy way out of burying resentment and then running when it got too hard instead of talking, working together, and investing in us.
