Sometimes I peg a post here as being Unspoken. Those things we don’t talk about. The hidden thoughts, the pictures that evoke emotion too deep for words. Today’s blog (ah, this A to Z Challenge is difficult…and deep sometimes) comes from an overheard conversation.
I won’t tell who the players were, only that I’m sad it was said.
“I feel guilty sometimes.” The pause was painful. “I don’t feel happiness in my marriage.”
There should have been a hesitation. Maybe if the words had been thought about they never would have been voiced. But in a rush they tumbled out, shocking speaker and listener alike. “I don’t understand. What does happiness have to do with marriage?”
Is everyone hiding a secret pain?
