Marriage, Sometimes

Sometimes, marriage is like this.

I was pouring my heart out
to him in the
kitchen when his
iPhone rang.
he answered it
without thinking.
he was:

  1. so secure in our deep, abiding love that he already knew all that mushy
    stuff and found my verbal vulnerability redundant. or
  2. he was preoccupied, as usual. or
  3. he wasn’t listening in the first place; I mean my lips moved but
    the sound was on
    mute.

choose one, please.
