The content explores the personal story of Roberto, who had a brief, three-month marriage that ended in divorce. Despite the marriage's failure, Roberto reflects on his past happiness and the lingering questions surrounding the relationship's demise.
The narrative begins with Roberto and the narrator, who work together in a mill, discussing Roberto's marital situation. Roberto shares that he was once a happy man, excited to marry his then-fiancée, Kelly. However, from the very first day of their marriage, there was a sense of disconnect between them. Roberto had doubts about the marriage, while Kelly seemed certain it was not the right path.
Despite the apparent issues, the couple never openly discussed their problems. Instead, they simply drifted apart, with Kelly spending most of her time at her parents' house. Ultimately, the relationship ended when it became clear they were not meant to be together, and they decided to get a divorce.
Roberto expresses sadness over the failed marriage, acknowledging that neither he nor Kelly seems happier now. He has heard rumors about Kelly's ex-boyfriend, whom she has reconnected with, but he believes the ex-boyfriend is not fully invested in the relationship.
The narrator offers Roberto the opportunity to go out with him and his boyfriend, Alex, as a way to provide support and a listening ear during this difficult time. Roberto is open to the idea, though he is hesitant to bring any potential new romantic interests, as he is still processing the aftermath of his marriage.
The content highlights the complexities of relationships, the emotional impact of a failed marriage, and the importance of open communication and self-reflection in navigating such challenges.
