Holiday Party

Yeah, we went to the porn kings holiday party. Like all events with my delightful husband, it started wonderfully. Nice restaurant. Nice people. Good Food.... ooops too many drinks. Yup that is the element that fucks it up every time.

We started the day well enough. He took me shopping for an outfit for the party. Of course, I can't pick out what I want. He has an idea about a certain look. And apparently it is for me to look like Cathy Bates. Now don't get me wrong. She is a lovely woman and a fine actress, but I have actually seen her in person and I am a zippier dresser than she. Plus she is older than I am. So we negotiated our way through and everything was fine.

When I got hope I mixed the new slacks with an old black lace top and the effect was stunning. And then dinner was delightful. I met a lot of nice people, including a woman who looks very much like me. Very odd. We were both surprised.

Then came the kicker of the evening. I should point out that my babysitter needed to get back home as she had school in the morning. So I left the porn king at the party and headed back. It was about 1am. At about 4 there was a knock on the door. Apparently my twit husband forgot that he had both a key and a cell phone and when his jiggling of the door did not bring me lay down and slept in the hall. He was returned to me by security. Charming.

As if this wasn't enough, I then got a diatribe from the git about how lousy I am. That he had been trying to reach me for 5 hours -- not possibly given the time frame. oh and I checked my phone -- no call, so I guess he didn't try too hard to reach me. Oh, and I got to hear what an ungrateful slut I am too. He does sooo much for me and I give nothing back.

That is about the end for me. I am staying here, because of the kids, but I have reached my limit of understanding. For 20 years I have given loyalty, respect, love and help. I helped him achieve his career goals and financial dream and still all he can talk about is how I have not done enough for him. How he can sit in judgement of me when he has spent the last 5 years ignoring and neglecting me and our marriage. Now he gets none of it. I am done.
