ROAD TRIP

Courtesy - Ted Strutz
He decided to take a road trip to save his marriage. He was excited to rekindle their old passion.

Unfortunately, they had a minor accident near deserted vegetation. He opened the bonnet to check. It was already sundown and no one seemed around. Even the cell reception was nil. She bickered and blamed him for their fate. She bitterly said it was better if she hadn't agreed on this stupid trip. He was flustered due to her apathetic nature. 

 He told her to wait, while he gets some help. 

 He never returned. He abandoned her and his car.

      Yes it is her Karma! I think it was his last attempt to save their marriage but after this incident he was fed up
      Thanks for reading Iain

    Sometimes self worth is too high a price to pay for a marriage.. I'm glad he did what he did.

    Dear Kislaya,

    It sounds like he saw his opportunity. Hard to sympathize with her.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

      Dear Rochelle, you are right - it is difficult to sympathize with her.
      Thanks for hosting and reading!

      True that! He had different plans while she was still bitter for no reason - may be by nature!

    I'm not sure their marriage stands a chance, but a terrible way to end it.

      One can argue that it is a terrible way to end it. But may be he was just tired of trying time and again!
      But the judgement lies with the reader.

    He did the right thing. May be she would take the car and find a compatible companion.

    You've constructed this story carefully, and the two characters are believable. Well done!

    I think at the end she could keep the useless car...

    Good he abandoned her. No one wants a nagging wife, poor guy had just wanted to save his marriage.

      Yes you are right Anshu! Effort in a relationship is needed by both partners.
