Always Left Behind

I think I’ve had a hard time committing to this marriage I got into three years ago because I’ve lost a sense of permanence in human relationships.
No one seems to stick around for long in my life.
It’s always been something, whether I’m moving, or people are moving away from me, or my parents are divorcing, or Dad committing suicide, or Mom becoming a vegetable, or me getting kicked out of a roommate situation, or being shunned by my peers, or watching other people be alienated by those they love…
It’s no wonder I feel insecure in my marriage. Most of the time I want to be the one to get up and walk away. It only feels like the natural thing to do.
But my husband is steadfast. He’s got no other plans but me in his future, and he’s made it clear to me. I’m lucky to have him.
