Yesterday, I woke up at 8 a.m. and drank a cup of coffee.
Then I read the headlines on my smartphone while taking a shit. A family of
five from Incheon was found dead in their apartment. The bodies of the three
children and the wife were in the living room whereas the corpse of the husband
was located in the bedroom. This positioning of the cadavers has led the cops
to believe that the crime was a murder-suicide. According to them, a despondent
Pops murdered his people and then took his own life.
I ate hash browns as I watched Fox News. The big story dominating
the news cycle is that Orange Donald expects to be arrested on Tuesday. The
district attorney of New York is named Alvin Bragg. He’s bringing charges
against Trump for making a payoff to former pornstar Stormy Daniels back in the day. The exchange of money occurred seven
years ago which means that the statute of limitations might come into effect. Final
analysis? This is nothing more than another lame attempt to throw the Donald in
jail.
The Dragon Lady came into my room.
She said, “My nephew go university soon.”
I nodded. “Good.”
“He school in Bwitish Corumbia.”
“So he’s moving to Canada?”
“That light. Canada. You know how much he pay?”
I shook my head. “I don’t care.”
“What?”
“You heard me. I don’t care. You’re just going to use the
information to make me out to be a loser.”
“But you are da roosah. You money so small.”
“Fine. My money small.”
I took a sock from the drawer and turned it into a ball.
Then I started throwing it to Dolly the dog. She chased it down several times
and brought it back to me so that I could hurl it again. We were having a good
time until my wife put her foot down.
She said, “What is dis? Are you da fucken idiot?”
I said, “Excuse me?”
“What are you doing?”
“I’m playing fetch.”
“But dat da good sock. Letard.”
“Why are you calling me a retard. Everybody plays fetch with
their puppies.”
“Put da sock back!”
I sighed heavily. “You know, I fucking hate living here.”
“Then get da divorce.”
“Great. Let’s do it. I’ll go back to America this summer.”
“Fine. We go to da oppice on Monday and get da pae-pah. Dis
time, you sign.”
“I’m not taking another day off work to visit that office. I’ve
already done it tons of times, and I always sign that fucking paper. You
get the paper, and I’ll go to school.
Then I’ll sign when I get home.”
“I not you swave.”
I’m a good employee, and I never miss class if I can help
it. But in the past, I’ve taken days off to visit the fucking courthouse in
order to get our divorce papers. Yet she never goes through with it. She perpetually
finds excuses to cling to me like a vampire. My money might be small, but there’s
not another sucker in the world who is willing to keep her in Ding Dongs. And
down deep, she knows it.
I drank another cup of coffee and put the fight out of my
mind. Who gives a flying fuck, right? I refuse to let her constant insanity transform me into a drooling fuckhead. Life’s too short.
Some bits of wisdom I learnt long ago:
ReplyDeleteDon't ever use the "threat" of divorce /separation in a domestic argument,
because someday when conditions are suitable, the other party might just call your bluff
(dunno where I heard that, sounds like a RC thing, even though I don't go to church)
The other bit of wisdom (from the ancient Chinese, I believe):
"Be careful what you wish for"
It's not easy living with a person who hates your guts. It takes a lot of patience.
DeleteTime to find a new home. We have but 1 life to live. Don't waste it on that!
ReplyDeleteWe shall see.
DeletePerhaps when your son is 18, actually carrying out the divorce papers yourself and getting her served will earn a new level of respect from dragon lady and a huge change in her attitude. I did it to my Ex when I was "done" with her. She came back crying so hard so many times I almost relented. But I moved on, and for the best, too. Remarried and had kids. Much better life, but wasn't an easy path. Best wishes to you and keep it up!!
ReplyDeleteIf I divorce her, what would I write about? The Dragon Lady might be my muse. Ha, ha, ha.
