See: Issa is nicey like that. Or something. Snort.
–I went looking for a picture for my husbands cousin, for her kid’s graduation photo thing. I didn’t find the one I wanted to, but I found the cutest photos of my girls as babies. They seem so old.
–Knowing that a child who you have known since they were four years old, is graduating from High School, makes one feel suddenly very old.
–What exactly does one call their husband when separated? Our divorce won’t be final until October, so it’s not like he’s exactly my ex-husband yet.
–I just heard that Apple is releasing a 4G iPhone in June. I take back all comments (see: whines) regarding having to wait until July for my iPhone.
–Am I the only one who didn’t think the: ‘May the 4th be with you’ Star Wars joke was funny the first time? The 32nd time it’s just dam annoying.
–I have MAJOR shoe issues. Basically I hate wearing them. Which really, I blame on my mother. I mean, if you lived most of your childhood in Southern California, you’d think flip-flops were the only acceptable shoes too. I have tons of shoes. Don’t get me wrong. The problem is that I despise wearing all of them. I wear flip-flops from the second it gets semi-not-actually-yet warm-enough, until the very last second possible. I love flip-flops.
–But what went wrong??? May be the worse question one could ever ask a separated/getting divorced person. However, I hear it often. They ask it like it should have an easy answer. Like I should be able to pinpoint the date and time it all went away.
Honestly, I don’t know. I have thoughts. Guesses. No definitive answer though.
Being asked that is like being punched in the heart. I can’t answer something for others, that I can’t answer for myself. Sometimes I think it’s because they want to know for them. Maybe to figure out where I went wrong? To see if they can avoid that thing I did in their own marriage. Other times I think it’s because they feel bad. That somehow knowing will make them feel better about the situation. Because I should need to make them feel better about my situation?
I don’t know what to say when it comes up. I do know, it’s a question that shouldn’t be asked.
–Really, this is all I have. Sorry for the last one in fact. I’ve been wanting to say that for awhile. It’s just it came up again yesterday.

I’m a joiner
Yeah you’re right, May the 4th was funny this morning. Not so much anymore. And about your iPhone, waiting until July is nothing…I have Verizon so who knows if Verizon will ever get the iPhone

Um, no it should not be asked. Just like it you aren’t sure someone is pregnant don’t ask. WHY ON THE HELL anyone would ask you that Issa blows my mind. I guess they just expect you to be angry and throw something mean out there, or someone cheated or something. I don’t know. I could sit here and guess about the stupidity of people ALL DAY b/c it is so bountiful. UGH.
I too am having shoe issues. No need to ramble on about that, you no I have problems.
Also? I love you, the end.

you’re getting DIVORCED? (just kidding)
I love flip flops too.
Oldness…yes, it sucks.
BIG hugs. I think you need support way more than snark.

@Heather, Eh, sometimes the snark is better. Depends on the day. Thanks friend.
May the 4th be with you? *snort/giggle* Obviously, I live under a rock, or in Northern Saskatchewan, or something, because I’ve never heard this before. It’s kinda funny, but not for too long, I suspect.
Flip-flops are OK, but a nice pair of high heels is even better! Sexy boots are the best, though. ;D
Sorry for the hurt from dumb questions that people ask. ((hugs))

@Joy, I am the clumsy-est person ever. High heels is just a reason to see me in the ER.
Gah! The questioners. I hated that punch to the gut. But eventually I got pleasure in saying “I wanted to improve our marriage. He decided to leave. The end.” or variations of that. Then, quick change of subject. Leaving the person with whiplash.
And? I used to call my ex, the anti-husband. Or the ghost husband. or when I was still holding on to desperate hope, I still said my husband. sigh.

@Lex, What if I just start smacking people? Would that work?
The anti-husband? I think I like that.
I gave up hope. That was a crappy day. But there just wasn’t any reason to still give myself that heartache.
One of our marriage counselors asked us how long we’d been married, and when we said “almost seven years,” he said, “Huh. Gettin’ the 7-year itch, I take it?”
Like, yeah, that totally sums it up, jackass. Do they make a cream for this kind of thing?
He’s not our counselor any more.
Hugs.

@Diapers and Wine, DUDE!!! Anti-divorce cream. Next to the anit-itch cream. That’d be awesome.
No one should ask that question unless you offer it first. Douche.

How do grown adults not know how to shut their freaking mouths???? All that needs to be said is, “I’m sorry.” and if you are close to the person, “Is there anything I can do for you?” Period.

@Susan @ Sassafrassery, I think some people just never learn that one. I have heard more asshat comments in the past five months than I ever would have thought possible.
People can be dumb, and ask dumb questions. Dumb people.
Also, flip flops ARE the best shoes, but not crappy cheap flip flops that make your feet hurt. Unfortunately in New England, flip flops aren’t acceptable most of the year. Sigh.
Yay for new iPhone coming out! Woot woot!
