hi Dad good to see you thank  you for welcoming me into your

home what are you saying you can come  here whenever you want this is your

home thank you Dad i really  need to talk to you something  

important of course son you know you  can talk to me about anything what's  

going on it's about my marriage i've  been thinking maybe I should get a

divorce wow that's a big word Kevin  what's happening between you and Mia

it's a lot of things that I don't  even know where to start we're

just different in so many ways and  I'm tired i don't know what to do

that take your time start from  the beginning what kind of

differences well for one we have  very different tastes i love action

movies and she prefers romantic comedies i  enjoy loud music dancing i'm going to Paris  

she prefers quiet evenings soft music and staying

home even our weekends are stressful  because we never want to do the same

things that's common go on i want  you to tell me everything son

also she doesn't like being  around too many people she gets

anxious but me I'm the opposite i  feel alive when I'm with people i love

reunions barbecues birthdays but when  I invite her she always says no always

and when she does come she looks  uncomfortable makes me feel

guilty like I'm forcing her but I  also feel sad going alone i don't  

like it i miss sharing those moments  with her i want her to be there with

me i see that can be hard  continue please what else  

it gets worse when we travel  we never agree on where to go

i want to explore new places cities  nature she wants to stay in familiar

places some were quiet small so we  argue a lot when it's time to plan a

trip and sometimes we cancel  the trip because we can't

decide and then there is the  housework we never organize who does

what sometimes she expects me to  clean things i didn't know I had to

i do help that but it feels  like we are not a team i end  

up doing something wrong or not doing  it fast enough also we fight about the  

small things like dishes laundry or even  groceries and that happens all the time

i see son it sounds like the pressure is building

up exactly and sometimes I feel like we talk less  

we're always tired we sit together but  we don't connect like before i've tried

that i've tried talking to her  changing my behavior giving her

space doing more chores i've tried many  different things but nothing really works

that's why I'm asking should  I break up with her i don't

know h Well that's not an easy

question but let me ask you something  very important first do you still love her  

yes I do i really do when I see  her smile my hearts still feel

something and when we're good we're really  good but those moments are not as often

now that's important Kevin marriage  is not about always being the

same it's not about having the same  favorite songs or loving the same movies

it's about learning how to  live with someone who is

different and still choosing them every  day because that is what marriage is

about yeah you're probably right but what  if it's too hard because it is too hard

all relationships are hard sometimes  your mother and I we had big differences

too she liked everything clean and  organized i was messy i have to admit

it she loved staying home i  wanted to go out but we learned to

listen we didn't always agree but we  always respected each other that's the  

key yes i mean I understand but  but what if trying is not enough

trying is everything love  isn't just a feeling son it's a

decision a marriage is a commitment  it means even when things are

hard I won't walk away easily that  is very important you made vows

you promised to face good and bad moments together

differences are normal  disagreements are normal what

matters what really matters is how you deal  with them that is the most important thing

it makes sense um I guess I expected it to be

easier we all do at the beginning  but marriage is not about

perfection it's about growing together  even when it's uncomfortable believe

me you both need to communicate  better maybe you can go to

therapy or have a serious conversation  about how to share responsibilities

we tried talking but maybe  we didn't do it the right way

maybe then try again don't give  up just because it's tough think

about what brought you together  in the first place remember the

reasons the reasons why you fell in  love do you think she stills loves  

you yes I think she does she still cares  i know it i feel it then don't break up  

not yet love like that is worth fighting for and  if you work together slowly day by day you'll find

balance you won't solve all problems  overnight but if both of you try you'll grow

stronger thank you Dad i really needed  to hear that i think I'll talk to her

again seriously this time I'll tell  her everything I told you thank you  

good and listen to her too she may  be feeling the same fears be kind  

be patient and remember a strong  marriage isn't about being

perfect it's about never giving up on  each other i don't want you to forget  

that please I'll do it i I'll fight for us even  if it's hard i love her and I want this to work  

that's my boy now go and  fight for your love you can do

it with patience with honesty and with  all your heart good luck son if you
