paying for silence
I think it’s odd that a man can live with his wife without talking to her. I think it’s completely unacceptable to live with a partner you refuse to even look at. I think it’s downright insane to live with a partner who sends you scurrying out of the room at whenever she approaches because you hate the way she smells.
But that’s me.
There is someone out there who does this. There is someone out there who has been doing this for the last ten years. I think he’s gone bonkers. I am more sane than I have given myself credit for I guess. I just got off the phone talking to him about borrowing the car and getting my allowance. I guess this means you know who I am talking about. He is the craziest guy in the world. He would rather have her spend a hundred thousand pesos a month than talk her into spending less. He thinks its better to spend that much than talk to her and make her see why it’s wrong to buy more food than they can consume. I am tempted to talk her into spending less. But then again, you cannot reason with her. Should I make her an offer she can’t refuse?
I think he’s turning to shopping for some fun. and why shouldn’t he? He’s worked hard paying for bills and making money grow. He should definitely enjoy it every now and then. He rarely buys things. Did you know that all of his shoes are at least 3 years old? Can you believe that I bought him the most expensive pair of slip-ons he’s ever had? He’s almost a miser I tell you. If I hadn’t bought him socks he wouldn’t have any decent ones to match his pants and shoes. I am happy he recently bought another notebook. I am praying that he will start taking vacations soon. I openly hope he hires one of those intelligent escorts to accompany him. But in my heart of hearts I secretly wish he would take me and my sister. I guarantee he will have the best time with us. We can sleep anywhere, and we drink like boys. Best of all, we appreciate the slabs of meat he likes, just as bloody too.
Oh lord the dreams.
When will they all come true? Will we all ever find peace before everybody dies?
