So then he said he didn’t want to go through with the surgery to see if he has any viable sperm because it would be painful and expensive (can you believe it?!) and I’m like, what the fuck is your problem, we’ve been doing this for two years now, I’m sick of waiting, I can’t take it anymore. I mean, if his sperm won’t work, okay fine, we’ll have to figure something else out—but we still need to find out. God, Mandy, I’m just so sick of him and his little tantrums.

I love how this one relates like a phone conversation with a rambling friend.
ReplyDeletethank you! I wanted it to be like something overheard, really intimate.
DeleteI really appreciate the sense of realism and character.
ReplyDeletethank you! I had been reading about couples with fetility issues, and I wanted to do something raw and real, not cold and clinical. but also kinda blaming the guy. (ha!)
DeleteI like this!! I get the frustration from it.
ReplyDeleteoohh this is one of the best ones i have read!
ReplyDeletethank you! fun to write in this rambling style.... also, I like that she is accusing HIM of having little tantrums, but her diatribe says otherwise?
DeletePlus it kind of shows there is probably a lot wrong in their relationship so it would perhaps not be the best idea to try and keep it together by having a baby...
ReplyDeletegreat job! i havent seen a phone conversation in the responses, and I could hear her voice in my head!! really relatable!
ReplyDeletethanks! like chatting with an upset girlfriend.....
