I would very much like my life to be a fairy tale. One in which this situation is simply a hurdle to be overcome, like Snow White eating the poison apple.
I would love to wake up with a kiss, somewhere down the road, to see that I have slept through the trouble and my prince never gave up.
Life is not a fairy tale. The one disservice Disney has done to my childhood is fill my head with silly nonsense about how love works.
Instead of waiting for a kiss to fix the problem, I'll do what every other married couple does. I will wait patiently, I will try harder, I will stay faithful and dedicated, and I will tell myself that we will come out stronger on the other side of this obstacle and we will have our happily ever after someday.
