The other woman
Comments from the wife:
Why would you want to do the work with someone defiant when you can be with —– who worships the ground you walk on?
What are you going to do with that iCamera, have video sex with your girlfriend?
I guess she’s not as fucking advanced as you insisted she was. Quite a change from the puzzlingly polyamourous “she seems sweet, I’d like to meet her” attitude she displayed months ago when she thought she had the power. Strange how that now that its over and you are exploring seperate real estate does she get viciously terriorial over you. What’s the point? She’s the one who said that if you hadn’t instigated the divorce, that she would have within months. She’s the one who brought someone else into your bed first. She’s the one who cut you off physically and attacked your self worth (I know you are not without fault in this debacle).
And what does she know about our dynamic? Does she know that I have a mind of my own, a stable sense of self, direction, accomplishments and a future? Does she understand that I am not a doormat, a person who absorbs the accomplishments and status of the other to feel valuable?That you are the one with abandonment anxiety? That you know that I have the freedom to choose while you are bound by obligations that I have no reason to take on if I don’t want to? If this love is a game and the winner is the one who will leave first, then I’m in the lead.
Become autonomous, woman, and get through this adolescent stage of defiance quickly. You are thirty four years old. While I understand the conflict you must have felt as a 21 year old fresh out of college without direction and feeling unsafe, presented with the opportunity to either be taken care of by successful pop star, or forging a path of your own (I may have made the same decision, but I doubt it), it’s time for you to step out of your coddled life and forge one for yourself. If you are as bright and capable as he says you are, then do it. What is holding you back? You can’t keep using your childhood as an excuse for your behavior now. At some point you have to take responsibility for the direction of your life. You will feel so much better about yourself when you actually accomplish something on your own. It will give you strength, so you won’t have to bite the hand that feeds you.
