With Dreads, it’s not money they are after. It’s his time. Which wouldn’t be a big deal if it was known in advance, but it feels like it’s always last minute. They just seem to drop things in his lap, expect him to be at their beck and call and drop everything to do whatever it is they want. And, from what I’ve seen of his personality, he doesn’t like confrontation.
So I imagine he just agrees to whatever with them and blows me off. Because he seems used to things being that way.
With my (soon to be ex) Husband, it was a little different than the situation with The Blackest Man on Earth. At least my (soon to be ex) Husband had grown up with these people, his brother and sisters. His parents were dead but, before they died, they sent him here to support the rest of his siblings. (Which, I have to say, it a rotten responsibility to saddle on of your children with.)
(His parent died of AIDS, if you’re wondering. He father only lived for 3 months after Husband left.)
Some of this is my fault for dating dating foreigners but Dreads is not a foreigner. I’ve come to expect it from foreigners but I wasn’t expecting his family to get in the way of my good time/life too.
Maybe its just that I’m not especially attached to my family and other people are. Maybe I’m just weird or something. Maybe my parents just don’t have a lot of expectations of me. They don’t expect me to be at their beck and call. I am an adult, I have my own life/problems/things going on.
And lazy. If I had things my way, I would sit in this recliner all day and not do anything. There are things that I could be doing. There are things that I should be doing. And then there is the thing that I said I would do but don’t feel like doing.
Today is my day off. Why can’t I do what I want to do? (Which would be nothing, in case you forgot).
