Beverly’s relationship has come to an end, finally having
run its course. She doesn’t see it, nor is she trying to. The bad times
outweigh the good times. She spends more time being unhappy, than she does
being happy. And still, she insists that she can change things around, because she
can change him, if only he would truly listen when she complains. Arguments are
now full-fledged battles. There’s a push and a shove, a slap, even punches
thrown that no one is supposed to know about. And the screaming is epic, voices
raised more times than anyone would care to count.
What everyone has tried to make her understand is that he is
still a boy, despite his age. They were both babies when they fell in love and
there has been little maturity since. He has no responsibilities, still sucking
on his mama’s titties as family and friends take care of all his needs. Right
now he’s rolling that program because he can, yet to have a reason to do things
differently.
What she fails to realize is that despite the love they
claim to have for each other, she is nothing more than a part of his growth process.
Once day he will be an exceptional man, but for some other woman. And he will
have her to thank for some of the lessons he is now learning. It’s just the
cycle of life, and love, in play and we have all lived her experience. We kiss
frogs before we find that prince; a man who has sowed all his wild oats and
come into his own.
What she refuses to hear is that one day there is a man who will come into her life and be the one. Who will honor and respect the woman she herself will
eventually become. A man who won’t need to be changed into the man she wants
him to be.
