I was doing the right thing.

Marriage is overrated.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

It is not that I do not want to marry ... It is complicated.

[adoomedfuture.livejournal.com]

Lots of things are complicated. Marriage isn't one of them. Marriage is a couple of signatures and a ring. It's commitment that's the hard part, and commitment and marriage don't necessarily go hand in hand.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

Perhaps but marriage is about proving ones commitment and, well ... that is partly the reason she is upset with me, I think.

[daughterof-evil.livejournal.com]

I don't get it.

Why is it that people act like the "right thing" is more important than what the woman wants?

[alwaystrouble.livejournal.com]

It's obviously the right thing. Because if he doesn't care enough to marry her, like she wants, he'd only hold her down.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

*angrily* I did not say that I didn't care.

[daughterof-evil.livejournal.com]

So do you?

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

Of course I do!

[daughterof-evil.livejournal.com]

Then do you want to be with her or not?

[alwaystrouble.livejournal.com]

And I didn't either. I said you didn't care enough.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

How dare you make presumptions when you do not even understand ... *deep breath, jaw clenching* It is something that must be done. For her sake.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

Because what the woman wants is not necessarily what is best for her.

[broadsword-babe.livejournal.com]

Dare I ask whether you've given any thought to what she wants? Or are you always this selfish?

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

Who are you to judge me, mademoiselle?

[broadsword-babe.livejournal.com]

A good friend and confidante of hers.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

But perhaps you should listen to both sides of the story before you start throwing accusations around.

[broadsword-babe.livejournal.com]

And your side is...?

[music-and-magic.livejournal.com]

If you felt like you did the right thing, then you have ... regardless of what anyone else thinks.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

Thank you my friend but I am already quite convinced that my decision was the correct one.

[nikita-q.livejournal.com]

Wow, first the management of the Opera, and now this? You really do get yourself into some binds, don't you?

And let me tell you, from experience, that the right thing? Ain't always quite what it seems.

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

*sardonically* Occupational hazard.

It is done. There ... It is out of my hands now.

[nikita-q.livejournal.com]

*smiles* Always wash your hands of responsibility that quickly?

[a-deaths-head.livejournal.com]

It is not as though I want to. It is something that ... has to be done.

[nikita-q.livejournal.com]

Of course, yes, has to be done. If you say so.


*long pause*


Why?
