Stoplight – A Crossroads in Life and Love

One evening, Angela and I found ourselves at a literal and metaphorical stoplight. We had been fighting again, a recurring pattern that had become all too familiar in the course of our relationship. But this time, something felt distinctly different. As I sat in the car at that glaring red light, I was struck by an overwhelming urge to stop not only the argument at hand but to halt the ongoing struggle for my marriage altogether. This stoplight represented a critical crossroads in my life, one that held immense significance. It was more than just a simple pause in our journey home; it was a moment of profound clarity and introspection. Would I choose to continue fighting for the bond we once cherished, or would I surrender to the deep weariness that had quietly settled in my heart over time? This decision wasn’t just about that fleeting moment at the light; it held the weight of the future we both yearned to build together.
