Having a husband is great because you always have someone to talk to. The problem is, halfway through your story, you start noticing the signs. The occasional "hmm." The random nodding. The delayed "wow" that has absolutely nothing to do with what you just said. One day I spent almost twenty minutes telling my husband about something that happened at work. I was fully invested. I gave background information, side characters, plot twists, and even explained why I was upset. When I finally finished, he blinked a couple of times, looked up at me, and said, "Sorry, I think I drifted off for a second. What happened after that?" That was when I realized this man had been physically present but spiritually unavailable. The funny part is that I wasn't even angry. I just started laughing because now I understand why all my secrets are safe with him. It's not loyalty. It's because he never received the information in the first place.
