Last
night they had fought again…
He
stepped towards her,
To
apologize for his unruly behavior yesterday,
But his
male ego rebuked,
“You
are her husband,
Why
should you apologize?”
Here,
she was thinking,
“Should
I let go this time too?”
But her
self-respect admonished,
“Why
every time you have to make amends first??
Wasn’t
it his mistake this time?”
And so
she mundanely carried out her daily chores.
In the
tug-of-war between ego and self-respect,
Their
long-cherished love
Flew
out of the window.
