I was driving home tonight and heard a sound coming from my engine that kinda sorta sounded like metal grinding on metal. But only kinda like that. And it only lasted for a split second.
My knowledge of cars is limited. Very limited. Like, the only thing I really know is how to pump gas. That and when something goes wrong check your dashboard to see what light has come on.
So I checked the dashboard where the “Check Engine” icon shined brightly. No duh, Dashboard.
The car was clearly broken, and do you know what I did? I decided that whatever was wrong wasn’t bad enough to make the car stop moving, so I should be fine.
And I strategically positioned my hands on the steering wheel so that my arm blocked my vision from the “Check Engine” light. Out of sight, out of mind. Problem fixed. Right?
Signs of a failing relationship are hard to miss. Constant arguing. Not as much sex. Working late because going home sucks. Talking to your friends about how miserable your marriage is.
We see the signs, know things are broken, yet we keep on going pretending nothing is wrong.
How’s your relationship doing? What signs are you seeing? What signs are you avoiding?
