Due to his wife and other terrible marital problems, the head coach sorrowfully announced his retirement unexpectedly, and all his team players broke down in tears, but…
When the head coach unexpectedly announced his retirement, all of his teammates sobbed due to his wife and other horrible marital issues.
Ever since the kids moved out and started their own lives, we have been drifting apart. Just so you know, I tried. incredibly difficult. But I just couldn’t watch the dark and ominous TV episodes that my husband, Mark loved. It was ideal for me to watch it in my own way because I have both chronic depression and generalized anxiety disorder.
So I holed up in the front room, romping through clever comedies, while he lingered in the back sunroom, lost in cold-blooded murders, futuristic hellscapes, and Blue Bloods. During restroom breaks, we would say hello and he would give me summaries For the sake of my marriage, I would pretend to be interested in the expected plot twists and be excited to return to my Drunk History episode.
However, New Year’s Eve arrived. A night when couples ought to, at minimum, enjoy some quality time watching TV together. I perused the available options. He rendered a verdict.
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel was my suggestion. The story revolves around several British retirees who relocate to India.
He stopped me mid-scroll. “Oh my. Restart. That was the Doobie Brothers, right? A concert? Return to it.
Indeed. It was there. a whole video recording of the Doobie Brothers performing live at Alpine Valley in Wisconsin in 1979. He answered, “I was at that concert.”
As we ate our charcuterie, Michael McDonald began to sing “Take Me in Your Arms.” I found myself back in 1979. youthful. bell-bottomed. My hair was styled in a shag by Kristy McNichol. Mark groaned, as though he’d made a poor decision among the cured meats and now had to force himself to swallow. “Oh my! He declared, “I detest Michael McDonald.”
Throughout our marriage, Mark was unable to switch the station swiftly enough anytime a Michael McDonald song came on the radio. I had the option to become infuriated, but I refrained from doing so because… what had my mother said? Choose your battles wisely. I never considered it to be a war to fight.
He stood up in front of the TV, obstructing my view of Michael’s thick head of hair, which at the time was spiced and salted and something I had fantasized about running my fingers through as a 27-year-old.
Mark put his hand on his forehead. He entered the kitchen and remained there the entire time the music was on. Alright. For the next fifty minutes, I had Michael and the others all to myself. My goal was to be that mic, right there on his lips with his eyes closed, looking exactly as he does when he makes out.
