It was Monday, when I was sitting and watching the television that it struck me “I have no romance in my life” we all watch movies and read epic, space defying love stories. I want my life to be like a Shakespearean tale though, with a very big happily ever after. I want a love story like that of the greats, another Romeo and Juliet, Lois and Clark, Edward and Bella, Tris and Four, Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele. Hey, it’s totally not cheesy and that’s what every little girl dreams about instead I am stuck in this excuse of a marriage with a young old soul. Seriously, where had the passion gone? Speaking of, I believe it was never really there in the first place or maybe it’s gone into hiding if so, I didn’t get the memo.

I have always been attracted to Robert he was and is in fact a charmer, when we first met and even more so after the second divorce oh! didn’t I say this is our third attempt at marriage yes, shocking I know but our tale has been a big and shall i say very long roller coaster I would admit that the first time around i married him for just for his money might I say that he is mightily rich and I went back to him because I had a fear of living alone. The marriage was initially a business arrangement at least from my side and he very well knew that I had no feelings whatsoever for him it was in fact a lovely arrangement, he gets a good loving wife and a gracious hostess might I add with no questions asked and no expectation whatsoever and I get the security of being married to a fabulous man.

The second time around was well like I said because I didn’t like being alone but between the both of us I missed him. Robert you know is the arrogant, sarcastic, narcissistic type with plenty control issues which I don’t even know if it’s healthy I am attracted to but then again we got divorced because we couldn’t stand each other as we could never see eye to eye on any issue and being two strong and determined people who always loved getting their way we butted heads over and over.

I felt that the right thing to do especially after an awful argument that he won seriously, he had no decency to let a lady win an argument (what we were even arguing about, I can’t remember) was to leave him and let him have his way on his own hence, the second divorce and as they say I felt that the third time would be the charm and agreed to marry him again after he came begging and shall I say, Robert NEVER begs. But like I said earlier, I have no romance in my life and Robert isn’t my prince charming coming to rescue me although, I would die if he ever got his hand on this diary and read this not that I wouldn’t say all this to his face but the fact that I have romantic notions in me *shivers*. I have been said to be emotionally unavailable and I believe I am very proud of this status.

Okay I really wanted to write a letter to Robert that’s why I am awake at this hour at the reading table I have packed my bags as Robert is still asleep and I hope to slip out as I can’t stand another confrontation with him so my letter, I want it to be brief and precise with of course the standard it’s not you it’s me when it really his him so it goes thus,

Dear Robby, (I love calling him this as he doesn’t like it but I think it’s cute)

It is said that the third time is a charm but it’s not so in our case I have been unhappy for a while now and at various time tried to share it with you but you never listen, you hear alright but never listen and yesterday’s event or lack of one proves my point. I have done my best to be the wife you deserve but I don’t believe we were meant to be together. I would always remember our time together fondly but I believe it’s time for us to move away from this relationship as it is unhealthy for the both of us. You deserve more and so do i.
                                                                                         Love, Funke

P.S my lawyers would see yours to arrange the terms of the divorce. I still get the apartment in New York right? It is stated in the prenuptial agreement.
