Brian Doyle exposes his views to the reader about divorce and the crazy life of marriage. One important segment that the author discussed is when he quotes "We were both just tired", reveals lots about his views in the entity of the article. After he states this, he then goes on to metaphorically copare things that people give up on. The comparison is made with a belt with extra holes that will never be used, the flashlight that will never be used and how marriage will never last.
Doyle's use of the word "never" in repetition emphasizes the dramatical emotions of his writing. His metaphor indirectly shows us he believes marriage is just another thing that won't work out. Couples get "too tired" and it's a failure in the same ay as the belt and the flashlight. As much as one may hope to use that flashlight some day, in the end it's just going to be "too tiring" to even give it hope.
