More first person writing

Whoever this person I wrote about is, they have wedding bells on their mind again. And again.

Another writing prompt today. That's probably all I will do this week. Work should be settling down after today. I'm hoping to finish my last paper this Friday, so I'll be writing for the next couple of evenings and most of Friday. 🤞

I picked a random number between 1 to 10 and came up with this prompt. It was awkward and it reads awkward. But here it is.

I have been married 13 times

I love being married. In fact, I love it so much that I have been married 13 times! Oh, don’t look at me like that. I’m sure there is some place on earth where getting married 13 times is normal. I’ve never been married to more than one person at a time, and I’ve never cheated on my wives. I don’t yell or hurt anyone. It just never seems to work out for some reason. I’m not even sure what it is.

The first time I got married was right out of high school. Unfortunately, it didn’t last long. I woke up one morning to a note that said, “Bob, I just can’t do this. Goodbye.” I was so shocked when it happened. It’s kind of been like that ever since.

Most people would give up, but not me. I’m not a quitter. Even if I’m obviously not very good at being married. I just think that one failure (or even 13) should not define me. So I keep working at it. My last marriage was a record! We almost made it to our first anniversary! Let me tell you, it’s not easy to keep your chin up, but I won’t let it get me down. Well, not for too long at least.

Maybe this time I should try talking to my next wife after we get married? That could help. I think I heard a couple of my wives say that I was uncommunicative. What do you think?
