Tough Decision

He was waiting on the couch for his wife to come home. He had one of the hardest decisions on his mind. He sat there and pondered for hours. His wife walked through the door, “Hi honey, what’s on your mind?” she said with a worried look.

“I don’t know. The decision is killing me, I don’t know what to do,” he gasped cupping his hands on his face.

“Well you have to make a choice, I’m tired and I don’t want to think about it all night,” She insisted.

They both thought on the couch, blankly staring at the TV screen. He stared at his wife intensely, wanting for her to take control and make the decision. She looked back as if she had no idea of what to do. They’ve been in this situation before. They had the same tough decision to make, but no matter how many times they were in that situation, it was still extremely difficult to make a choice. They both just wanted it all to be over with.

“I’m starting not to even care anymore,” He said with a sarcastic smile.

“No, don’t think like that, I want to consider every possibility. We need to make the best decision possible.”

“Alright, I’ve come down to two choices.”

“Well, what is it?”

“I guess we can watch either ‘Marley and Me’ or ‘The Great Gatsby’,” he said pointing the remote at the TV.

“I heard the ‘Great Gatsby’ was really good.”

“Okay.”

They finally made a decision for movie night.
