There comes a time when a man must just have his peace of mind. During such a time, the man must just be left to his own thoughts. Neither questioned nor excited. Neither bothered nor entertained.
Everybody deserves this once in a while, whether or not they are mean. Whether or not they are a people’s person. Whether or not they owe you something, like an apology or love. And don’t give me the “I’m your partner and I deserve your attention” crap.
