The man’s phone sits on his desk, surrounded by mugs, donut halves, tissue paper, permanent marker pens, and more. A photo of a smiling toddler is displayed as a wallpaper on the smartphone. The infant is a child who recently became his child.
He remarried last year and suddenly met a toddler. By the way, his current wife also went through a divorce once. By marriage between remarried people, he suddenly had a child, and the child suddenly had a new father. However, the child is still two years old, so I don’t know the details.
It is rumored that the reason he divorced his first wife was his violence. Whatever the reason, he was able to remarry soon after the divorce to another woman with a child.
And now he’s looking for a third wife.
The man is a negotiator. He’s used to getting what he wants. But this time, he may be in over his head.
He’s trying to balance his new life as a stepfather with his old life as a bachelor. And he’s not doing a very good job of it.
The toddler is a handful. He’s always getting into trouble. And the man’s new wife is starting to get frustrated.
The man is also having trouble at work. He’s not meeting his deadlines, and his boss is starting to lose patience.
The man is feeling overwhelmed. He doesn’t know what to do.
One day, the man is sitting at his desk, staring at the photo of his toddler. He’s thinking about how much he loves the little boy. And he’s thinking about how much he doesn’t want to lose him.
The man realizes that he needs to make a change. He needs to be a better father. He needs to be a better husband. And he needs to be a better employee.
The man picks up his phone and calls his wife. He tells her that he loves her and that he wants to make things work. He also tells her that he’s going to take some time off from work to focus on his family.
The man’s wife is happy to hear this. She tells him that she loves him too. And she tells him that she’s willing to work things out.
The man hangs up the phone and takes a deep breath. He knows that it’s not going to be easy, but he’s determined to make things better.
The man starts by spending more time with his toddler. He takes him to the park, the zoo, and the library. He also reads to him and plays with him at home.
The man also starts seeing a therapist for his anger issues. He’s learning how to control his temper and how to communicate more effectively.
At work, the man is more focused. He’s meeting his deadlines and he’s getting positive feedback from his boss.
The man is also working on his relationship with his new wife. They’re going on dates and talking about their future.
The man is still a negotiator. But now, he’s negotiating with himself. He’s negotiating between his old life and his new life. He’s negotiating between his career and his family.
And he’s finally winning.
