Manic Monday

Matt: For someone who avoided venturing into a relationship with Trey Sanders in your younger years, you certainly made a “different” choice. An “interesting” choice in life partners, that is. So you married Stephen and had three children with him. You saw some red flags but you stuck with him and created a huge family for yourself. It’s interesting that after all of that work you put in together, you are left here with growing children and a feeling that you are alone in all of this. It’s also interesting to note that every other conversation with Stephen  turns into an insulting diatribe on his part. Boy he really doesn’t like it when you glance away uncomfortably while he is reeling/“talking.” He is becoming increasingly long winded and your attention span is fading. How is that dynamic working out for you?

“Stephen: Do you know why women in their 40’s start getting less roles in films? It is because men don’t want to look at women aging so movie studios hire new young women to star in their upcoming movies. Men do not want to watch movies starring older women. Men don’t want to look at aging women. Women don’t want to look at aging women either. It’s true! Name a working actress in their 50’s or older.

Me: Jane Fonda. 

Stephen: Jane Fonda is rich. She creates roles for herself and produces the vehicle for herself too.

Me: What about Jamie Lee Curtis?

Stephen: Well if you consider Halloween a quality movie…”

Matt: Stephen just insults you and your gender for the hell of it. Stephen must still desire you because he is trying to break your confidence down so you will never have the nerve to leave. He doesn’t believe that you have a secret admirer either. That’s Impossible! Again, you made the right choice in a life mate. Really! Don’t look back at your chance with Trey, as if was still a valid opportunity for you. You are aging and losing your looks,  as we speak. If Stephen and Trey were smart they would start looking for younger women. Maybe it’s time for another cat because that is where you are headed. Alone with your cats. Be forewarned!
