Anyone that has been in a relationship and then got out of it probably has pictures like this, you know, where you cut the other person out. I didn't do it too many, I decided to give my kids the picture of the two of us. I thought that they would like to have them.
This was while I was married and had been asking for a divorce. We didn't have anything in common but the kids. His ranting fits didn't matter anymore. He had played our whole marriage and I was done; I wanted to play now.
He was notorious for nit picking some little something that he thought I was saying. He would hear part of a conversation and say, "What did you mean by that?" This photo was taken at a church valentines function and this was one of those moments that he was on my case about something he didn't like. I could see someone with a camera coming up to take our picture in my peripheral vision... He didn't see them coming. I just sat there watching it unfold. Giddy with excitement knowing that he was going to get caught. In the middle of him ranting I said, "Turn and smile for the picture." And then click...His lips were shut and in a sarcastic smile of disbelief.
Oh man! That rat! I wish I could see the jerks face just for all-too-familiar laughs, you know?
ReplyDeleteintrospectre: Yess.. I do know. That would be too funny.
ReplyDeleteYES...YES... I know that look all too well. It's that "you're an ass and you're not going to break my spirit" look.
ReplyDeleteI love this picture. It's more than just a nice smile... it's a wicked smirk and gleam in your eye.
I think you were coming into your own. Good for you!!!!
shandi: Two years before our final brake up, I left for 30 days...
ReplyDeletethis was taken just before that.
As you can see I didn't feel I had anything to loose. That's when I was able to start just being myself. I didn't see egg shells anymore.
