Jim woke up and wasn’t sure if what he’d experienced the day before was a dream or reality. The loving, caring side of his partner was back. He knows if he hangs on just long enough, she will show a glimpse of her old self when the relationship began.

THIS! Is the reason Jim stays!

He knows the caring side under all the lies, cheating, and manipulation. He knows she is trying; she doesn’t mean to lie. She repeatedly promised Jim that she was working on things and has changed. He wants to believe her, but every time he does, she proves different.

With each broken promise comes more torment and confusion. Jim is in a constant state of anxiety, waiting for the partner he loves and knows to be, but it rarely shows itself. Sometimes, Jim is so sick of the shit she puts him through, but those heartwarming thoughts of the good times resurface and pave over the bad.

The way she sits on his lap and flops her small head against his chest and says, “I’m sorry,” yet again.

Jim is a glutton for punishment.
