You never really know, not for sure. You only sense the confusion and frustration inside. He cannot tell you. That would change things, break things. Instead, he walks on eggshells. Avoiding topics in conversation, he tells you he is just stressed at work.
She is on his mind every day now. A daily eclipse that drags a shadow across your world together. When he is with you, everything is fine. Your eyes hold only trust and caring. His heart aches for what he wants to do, needs to do, but has no courage for. At night, with you, he moves with instinct. A known ritual, something that once brought him pleasure is now a mechanical cycle. In. Out. Over and over. Release. It sates his body but no more.
Her demands grow louder every day. She wants him. She wants to break him free of you, the ultimate win in a game of chess you didn't even know about. She is using the powers learned over a dozen failed relationships to blind him, seduce him, make him a willing servant in a game that only tears him apart.
When you catch him with a far-off look in his eyes, he is daydreaming of her. Her new and spicy scent, so different from your own. He remembers every moment entwined with her, inside her. The way she dug her heels into him, so that they began again without ever really stopping. Slowly at first, until he is drowned in the essence of her, heat and sweat and faint perfume. No barriers, no protection either literal or figurative. No matter that he once felt that way with you. Your eclipse is complete, and his body is tattooed with an invisible sign, marked as hers.
When you have a bad day, the guilt wells up inside him so rotten and sickly that he shakes. He thinks he can do this, he can leave at a moment of his choosing, when you are strong and able. He forgets that his support is so much of what holds you up. You can sense her influence undermining that, so your bad days grow more common. It becomes a way to hold him to you. His masquerade makes him ill. A few extra liquor bottles appear in the trash can every day.
He still jokes with you, smiles with you. He remembers the things you like so much. His days with you are simple. An acceptable norm; Breakfasts on Sundays and dinners on Friday nights that have been going on for months now. A false commitment to an ideal life he wants but can never quite achieve.
Because he's with her in his head and you in his bed.

"His masquerade makes him ill. A few extra liquor bottles appear in the trash can every day."
The "uh huh" was for the extra liquor bottles in the trash...
This line painted a picture in my mind, somthing that the best writers do.
The ole "show don't tell".

Uh huh, what?

I choose pictures based on what it evokes, regardless of content. Long as it's close enough to feel related.

Nice to see you about. Don't brag too much about a 'busy life' though. Other users who never see sunshine or real people will get jealous.

Why did a legitimate post like this turn into a fuckfest between Hypospadias and all you other freaks?

Not an alter, you fuck.
I may have multiple (arguably vapid) personalities but they're all under the title of Sage.

Tupperware is for assholes. Rubbermaid is for Wal-mart shoppers.

I was inspired by the trash can on my deck, if you must know. Made for what? TRASH.

There's a clear distinction between the two but I'm not sure what.

This was probably good so I'm just going to take a point off to be an asshole.

Is this sequence where sico finally outs sage as his very pathetic female alter....I think it is.

If you were looking for funny I'll direct you to Jeff Dunham's videos on Youtube. I'm not a comedian, and I know it.

Just something I'd had saved for quite awhile now.
No, I'm not dead. A busy life just gets in the way.
