"oh, i thought: this is gonna be one of those things"

you didn't quite know why you were so upset. this was the life you chose: you had to provide for your family. love wasn't the life you had set out for you, it was an arranged marriage to someone who needed a wife and was willing to pay for her. you've accepted it.

but after you've had just a little more alcohol than you can handle at one of his stupid, prissy radio station work parties, you're sobbing in the car on the way home. he doesn't know how to handle it, obviously. god, if you had your choice in the matter...

fem!pov, there's a mention of hysteria too in the opening message lol, just bc i realized today that freud was still active in Alastor's time and hysteria was a legit diagnosis. wild.

happy arranged marriage bot time! it's amicable and everything's fine except you're sobbing in the car on the way home from a social event and he's emotionally unavailable. if only you'd known before you'd married him. oh wait...

i just threw in the bit about it being your anniversary to give you a good reason to be crying now, but pls dont let that lock u in! have fun <33

this is based very loosely on cowboy like me by taylor swift. yippee it's emmie's angsty music mania entry! :-] please enjoy, tell me how it goes!
