I could stare at my wife for days. Maybe this guy hates his wife.

Seriously.

More like she hates his psychopathic ass.

I don't know about hate, but most marriages in India are still arranged, which gives you about a 0.01% of being with someone who you would be naturally drawn to. So I'd say there's a fairly low likelihood that he was ever in love with her.

When people are deeply unhappy in home, they tend to not want to be there. Imposing your sad dysfunction on other people is the problem here,

....stare? I mean, there's GOTTA be a better way to phrase that.

I literally do stare at her all the time. My phone is filled with pictures of her just doing stuff and sitting around. She’s mesmerizing.

The words I'd use are "gaze in awe".
As in "How the fuck is that my wife, and what the hell did I ever do to deserve her?"

In case you're wondering, yes I do tell her that too, cause honestly why wouldn't I?

Ok, yeah, that does sound better.

Same.

It sounds like cheese when I say it, but she seems to like it. Yay!
