Ruby

For twenty years Oscar and I were the picture perfect couple. But somewhere along the way I stopped feeling like Oscar’s wife and started feeling like an accessory on his arm. He was always too busy for me, so busy he stopped hearing me so I stopped talking. Then things got worse.

Oscar

Ruby blindsided me when she brought up a separation. She says I diminish her, take her for granted, and don’t hear her anymore but she’s just sensitive. In time she’ll see that I’m right. 

Note: This is a marriage-in-crisis, husbands-who-grovel, later in life standalone romance told from both Ruby and Oscar’s POV. Absolutely no cheating involved.
