This is Part 2. For part 1 go back one day.
I asked him if he thought that was OK to spend money on coins with our account overdrawn $459. He said he didn't know it was that much. I said it doesn't matter. We are short every pay period. He asked me what I wanted him to say. I told him I wanted him to say "Yes, I do." So he said it,
"Yes, I do."
My heart stopped. Right then and there, my heart stopped. My chest hurt, I couldn't breathe, I felt tears pushing up behind my eyes, I was sick, my throat closed. I couldn't swallow. I said nothing. I walked away from him and went to my room to sew. I cried in my room until I couldn't cry any more. I sang along with the radio and kept my mind busy cutting out a pattern.
A few weeks ago he said that people get angry and scream or shout to get a response out of someone else, when they don't get that response, they will either get louder or stop. I asked him if that was what he really believed. People can't be angry for a good reason? Nope. Apparently, people only get angry to get a response out of someone else and when they don't get it, they stop.
Wow, you will never see me angry, you small, small, man. Over my dead body.
