( Can You Tell Im On The Damn Train Lol Will Cut This Later When I Get Home ) - Tumblr Posts

Mouth agape, Charlie was about to say that of course he loved his wife when Emma continued on. His eyes never left his friend as he took a sip from his coffee, taking in the advice seriously. When she was finally done and a break was given when she drank her coffee, he nodded. Emma had given him a lot to think over. "So you think it's best for me to talk to her more about my struggle than it is to keep it to myself?" There was something about him having to verbally say it to confirm it, as if he didn't he would get this all wrong.

"I just," He looked down at his cup of coffee sighed. "I worry that with the kid, adding on how stressed I am on top of her stress would just stress her out even more. How do you find that balance?" When his best friend was around, he would pour everything and anything out onto her, he realized now that she was gone just how much he had been putting her through too. The last thing he was going to do was do that to his wife or to Emma. That was the whole reason for this conversation. "Is there ever like a hard line you draw about what you tell him? Or keep to yourself?"

Much like Charlie did for her, Emma sat and listened to everything Charlie had to say before she responded to things. He had a lot to say, there was no doubt about it, a lot of worries that ate away at his consciousness and she was doing her best to try to mitigate them so that they weren't so big. Not that it was necessarily working at the moment, but she was trying.

"Listen to me," she can't help but to interrupt, "Do you love Anna? Don't answer cuz I already know the answer to it. You love her so much, you couldn't possibly fuck or mess things up with her for being honest with her about how you feel. She's a good woman, Charlie, trust her to react properly to what you're going through. Its more harmful to you both if she doesn't know," she speaks with a shake of her head, taking a moment to take a sip of her coffee.

"Just be honest with her. Maybe don't tell her what you're going through quite like that, but still be up front about it. I tell my husband when things are going south and I'm craving a drink, we're able to talk about the why's, and typically I feel better enough that somebody knows that it doesn't bother me as badly... let Anna do that for you too."
