I said yes<\/em> because I was thirty years old and alone in the city. I said yes<\/em> because he was the first real man that I\u2019d known. Because at thirty you think your life is already half over because sixty, sixty is old.<\/p>\n I didn\u2019t have a big sister or a close, really close friend who might\u2019ve suggested that this wasn\u2019t love. Who might\u2019ve opened the city up for me like a can of sardines. Who might\u2019ve at least raised an eyebrow at getting married to someone I\u2019d met at a bar.<\/p>\n He is nice enough and at the time I said yes<\/em> he was working full time at a company that looked steady enough through the recession. I still had my job at the agency, making the rent and utilities and peanut butter sandwiches for breakfast and lunch. My timing, as always, was off by so little. My timing was off by so much.<\/p>\n Tomorrow we\u2019re going to be married at City Hall. I\u2019m taking the day off from work and he just won\u2019t go to the bar. He\u2019s gone through whatever money he had saved while he was working but that only lasted two months. He moved in with me a few weeks ago. Moved in and took over my life.<\/p>\n He is nice enough, I suppose. He makes me laugh. When there\u2019s really so little to laugh about. He says he\u2019s been writing his novel, between sending out resumes. He says so and I need to believe him.<\/p>\n I can\u2019t say no<\/em> now, it\u2019s too late. But I wish for some kind of miracle. Something that would make it all better. Something that would offer a way out because sixty seems a long way off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Word Count: 288 I said yes because I was thirty years old and alone in the city.
