Thanks, everyone. This isn't about one person in particular. It's just about that moment when you all you can do is comfort someone whether if it's a friend, a spouse, or whomever in a situation and in that moment... all you can do listen. Sometimes, that's all we need is someone to listen to us; even if it's nonsense.
And to be honest, I wrote this as someone who has cheated on their partner. He knows that she loves him deeply but he no longer returns those feelings. However, he knows he is wrong and he accepts it but he is ambigious not knowing what is going to happen next. Is he going to fix their relationship or is he leaving for the other woman? All he can do in that moment is listen meanwhile acknowledging that he is wrong.
What is the next step?
