Whine Tasting
Do I Need To Slap You?
Ok, I guess I’ll begin handing out little slaps here and there as I read everyone else’s blogs. I must first put in some caveats (which I imagine I’ll need to restate now and then when everyone starts getting cranky):
1. I understand everyone’s blogs are going to be one-sided. Of COURSE! This is your forum to vent. But that doesn’t mean I can’t pick at it.
2. Hindsight (and seen-from-a-different-angle-sight) is generally 20/20, so I have the benefit of commenting after the fact.
3. I’m not perfect (but I must say I still look firm and perky in the right light).
4. And this is just my opinion.
Justice and Truth at the Beach
So your ex was a turd on that summer beach holiday. He wasn’t bored with the beach, he was bored with his life. Although he agreed to go on that holiday, he did everything he possibly could to let you know he did not want to be there. Did you guys never talk about this during the trip? Did you both pretend it was business as usual?
You say he hated the beach, but you also say you ended up vacationing there a few times. Which means he agreed to go there with you – even though he hated going, he agreed to go. Where did you hate going? Did you also make those compromises for him?
It’s all water under the chaise lounge now, and I have no idea how much poop you had to deal with up to that point, BUT he did make an effort to go, and once there, it sounds like everyone just ignored him. Maybe he deserved it, but all too often we prefer to try to pave over the problem rather than talk about it.
I can guarantee you, It never goes away. It’s not like a zit. It will always erupt one way or another.
And here’s my first little slap: checking his phone?? Just imagine how you’d feel if he monitored how long you talked to YOUR girlfriends.
