[Couples_therapy prompt 29.2: Mistakes]
OOC: This prompt features AU!Kara.
What is one mistake you keep making in your relationships?
Gods, I don't know. Ask Sam. He'd probably say I keep sleeping with other people. Which is true, but I told Sam when we got married that I wasn't a one-man kind of girl. And I frakked up with someone I shouldn't have, but I bet he'd say he expected it sooner or later. Look, people do dumb stuff in the middle of war, okay? And I'm not exactly the poster girl for healthy faithful relationships.
I think sometimes Sam wonders if I'm going to go out drinking and not come home until the next morning, wearing some random guy's shirt. But since he promised to try this...arrangement...I said I'd try not to be unfaithful. With anyone but Leoben, obviously. I guess that doesn't technically count, does it?
Leoben would probably tell you that I kill him too often. Haha. No, actually, I don't know what he'd say. Maybe that I never listen to him? (Have you ever heard him talk? Seriously, sometimes you wouldn't listen, either. Sorry, Leoben, but you know how you are). Probably that I'm a trial and I'm always fighting myself. He's been saying that since we first met, how I think life is about suffering and I won't listen to my destiny, won't settle down and just let things be. Things like that.
Actually, Sam would probably say that stuff, too. Makes you wonder why they want to live with me in the first place. I told them that up front.
I don't know what I'd say, if there's some common thing I always do that fraks everything up. I'd probably say I'm frakking perfect and everyone else fraks up but me, but we all know that's a lie, so...
Maybe it's run away. But I said I wasn't going to run this time, so we'll see. I keep waiting for the day I wake up and everyone's already gone. I usually just want to get out before that happens.
Maybe I'm just not very good at trusting anyone. Even myself.
