stereotypes

All the stereotypes are coming true

She is soon turning into her mom
Overly caring and doing things
way beyond her role and capacity

And if anyone asks

Why she doesn't make any effort

To change things

To make her husband work

She will say

This is just the way he is

And he never listens

She is soon turning
into the nag
The screechy shrew that
husbands run away from
and make excuses to avoid
so that they can
hang out with the boys

They did try
to gain each other's attention
and stay connected
but soon realisd
that they cannot be tuned in
at all times
so like every other couple
they do their own things
when they are together
mobiles, laptops, work, gossip
and let them all
creep into bed with them

not easy to get over that idea of
romantic togetherness

but then
there is no other option....
