The husband feels afraid of going outside in the dark due to fear of being taken advantage of again. The wife suggests starting with carrying flashlights and asking neighbors to keep an eye out for them.

I don't think I can go outside tonight.

Why not?

I'm afraid of the dark. I feel like something is going to happen to me if I go outside when it's dark.

I understand how you feel, but you can't let your fear control you. Remember when we were conned last year? We didn't let our fear of being taken advantage of again stop us from moving on.

You have a point. But I just can't shake this feeling of dread.

Let's take it one step at a time. We can start by carrying a flashlight or turning on outdoor lights when we need to go out at night. And we can also ask our neighbors to keep an eye out for us.

I appreciate your support. I'll give it a try and see if it helps. Thank you.

Of course. We're in this together, and we'll figure it out.
