Скачать или смотреть I Spent 52 Years Being a 'Good' Husband... She Was Lonely!

I'm 76 years old and this is my story. For 34 years, I adjusted insurance claims in Dayton. Came home every night. Paid the bills. Thought I was doing everything right.

But my wife Linda was lonely anyway. She'd tell me about her day at the library. I'd nod, half-listening. Thinking about work. She asked about going to Maine. "Maybe next year," I'd say. She stopped asking around 2010. I was relieved. Six months before she died, she said: "Robert, I don't think you ever really saw me."

I found her notebook later. Blue cover. Pages of entries: "He's always tired. I understand." "I wish he'd look at me the way he looks at the TV." She forgave me for 44 years. I never noticed.
My daughter Rachelle told me she used to wait up to show me her drawings. "We'll talk tomorrow." We never did.

— Robert
