Taking The Cat And Leaving You

Summary

After yet another chilly standoff with Cam, my partner of seven years, I didn't cave.

My friends rallied around me.

"She's just complicated, you know? A little contradictory."

"A woman who battles herself needs a saint for a boyfriend."

"She's just testing you."

But I was truly exhausted. I had nothing left to give, and no desire left to apologize. All the cold wars, the pointless arguments, the constant emotional dodging over the years had worn me down to the point where I couldn't tell the difference anymore.
