Marco turned on the radio as soon as we got in the car. “Let’s go back to Melbourne and get something to eat,” he said. “I’ve had to share you all day. I want you all to myself tonight.”

It would have been almost sweet, if we hadn’t just finished an entire day of little annoyances piling up into a big, flammable pile of sticks. Why didn’t Marco ask me what I wanted? Why was his opinion the only one that mattered? Was this somehow my fault? Over the years, I had been the one to move to Seattle to be near him. I’d quietly gone along with whatever he wanted to do. I couldn’t blame Marco for getting into the habit of not asking my opinion, since I’d stopped giving it to him long ago.

As I showered and dressed, I kept going back over our relationship. In the early days, I had spoken up more, hadn’t I? Or maybe Marco just paid more attention to me back then. Our first date had been romantic. He’d taken me to get sushi, and then we’d gone to see a touring Broadway show. It had been really nice. I mean, it wasn’t as special as Emily and Nate’s first date, but that didn’t matter. At least, I told myself it didn’t matter.

Not long after, we were driving to Melbourne mostly in silence. I didn’t have anything to ask Marco, because he’d told me everything about his life. And he didn’t take the time to ask me anything about mine. As the miles went by, I grew more and more agitated. Why was this so hard for us?

Marco pulled into the parking lot of a restaurant and said, “This looks like a good place, don’t you think?”

“Do you really want my opinion, or are you just making small talk?” I snapped.

He finished parking and turned the car off. “Where did that come from?”

“I’m not happy with our relationship, Marco. I miss the couple we were when we first started dating. We never talk anymore. We never see each other. I don’t know if I can keep doing this.” It was just the tip of the iceberg, but I didn’t have the courage to face all of our problems at the moment.

“We talk as often as we can,” he protested.

“No,” I cut him off. “You call me when you can, and then you tell me about your life. You’ve stopped showing any interest in my life at all. It really hurt that you didn’t want to come to my class yesterday. I’m very proud to be a teacher with my own class, and you don’t care at all. If you loved me, you’d be interested in my life.”

“Whoa! That’s unfair! Just because I had work to do and couldn’t do it in your class, doesn’t mean that I don’t love you.”

It felt like he was dodging the real issue, but I didn’t pause to analyze his words. “Okay, yesterday didn’t work out. But we’ve been alone together a lot over the past couple of days, and you never ask about me.
