Extreme Right

I know I have had a distorted past. I can't fit like all of you.
I perceive relationships and events in my own distorted way. Then there are a few who understand my distortion (maybe they are distorted in their own way) and then there are many who dont.

This is one that I don't understand and get all distorted.

This one article about a serious topic of the new age Husband and Wife Relationship.
Excerpt:
How about some coffee asks the Husband. Honey I'm just back from work and too tired how about fixing it yourself and by the way get me a cup too when you are at it says the wife.
This is the new way relationships work in a marriage these days. Women have learnt to enjoy their new freedom. She works and earns more than him so why should she take the shortshrift. Unfortunately the man is having to cope with more of the changes then her.
Some men are actually dealing with it much better than others .... etc etc
End Excerpt:

So there now I have it out of the way and let me lie on the bed watching the rain drops fall from the ceiling and distort the whole thing.

Finally it's out that I am not doing well playing the role of the Metro man. Whatever that may be I'm not made for it. I've just looked darn stupid all this while trying to understand the matter of complex woman issues, trying to play the part of the compassionate type.

Shit! the whole thing is like quicksand, the more understanding I play the more the number of issues grow and the more I get sucked under.

OK girl so you have problems with me. I agree, why should you be the one making the coffee, staying at home, looking after the kids, managing work and your time. Yeah I mean it's a free world do what you want I don't mind I don't want your coffee. I can always hop down to the neighbourhood cafe and have my cup. If you like I'll bring you one on the way back from work.

You liked the role reversal part ?, You said you admired me for changing diapers, giving the kids a bath and all that sort of work. Yeah look I enjoyed it too. Infact I enjoyed it more than you, I didn't have issues. The kids and me always had fun everytime.
I'm sorry that it makes you look like shit and groan about your problems of not spending time with the kids.

What the heck the kids are confused which one of us is dad and which one is mom.

Sure you go to work and you worry about whether it is the right decision, whether the kids are suffering and other deeper issues.
I'm sorry I can't help you with that one I'm too busy going to work, worrying about getting my butt chewed off, about gender equality and worrying about you worrying about yourself.

I know that your biggest priority is the kids and nothing else so I found that these are mine as well. Great that we found a common goal so what was the fighting all about.

You hate my mom but I'm sorry it's a little to late to change the fact that I can be born to some other woman you do like.
So why do you keep wanting to hear me say that your dad and mom are the greatest.

Of course I love you and I told so a thousand times and why wouldn't you believe that. Maybe you love me but I am not able to understand this concept of chipping out pieces of your love from the stone that your life has become after your marriage.

Well since you believe that I am the reason for all your problems in life why can't you dismiss me from the job, but that would only seem to make it worse.

'Do I have to cook tonight' you ask everynight. I mean if your hungry and don't want to starve and don't want to blow that cash on eating out everynight cooking would be a good option. No wait a minute you just got back after a hard days work. You would like to stretch out on the couch and maybe spend quality time with the kids. Go right ahead I'll do the cooking. Damn I'm light years ahead of you in this area. Now why does that make you feel all squeamish.

What was that you want a massage I'll be right with you once I finish feeding the kids. As for me I just happen to know this great massage and sauna. Sure I'll have to be nude under that towel when she kneads my back. Now why are you walking on the ceiling.

Now is possibly as good a time as any to tell you about that creep you called as your ex or that other guy who was your boyfriend.
I see it like all guys do, at that time those guys were just like all of us, they just wanted you all the time and you never understood that did you. Poor sods waited all this time while I got you all for myself. Now they come to pay their respects and you go all dreamy about those times and Oh wait I'll get my my happy face from the cupboard. You guys just rocked way back then all those movie dates, singing, picnics wow the romance is just so feelable.
Oh you two want to know about my crushes, yeah sure like you say I don't deny that I did cause many an eyelid to flutter but I wouldn't dare tell you about the one whose body fluttered as the earth moved. No problems for me no issues for her. But no no not much romance like you guys.

Ive spent too many years at war with myself

There were rooms of forgiveness In the house that we share

But whoever comes calling will find nobody there

After today, consider me gone
