“The thing about modern long-term romantic or marital relationships is that you usually enter them with a big smile on your face, but you never know for sure if a bad turn can wipe it off.

“Most often, you care for someone and they care for you. You invest time, energy, money, emotion also. So you try to overcome the obstacles and roadblocks along the way.

“Sometimes you can pull through and put that smile back on again. Sadly, sometimes, the smile can be lost forever.”…”Reflections of A Writer”…Miles Alex.
