"Well, I guess your aunt E. is home tonight. She's on facebook." mom said bit ago. "Which means, either she's got bad weather where she is, or else she's disgusted."
Me-:"Disgusted over what?"
Mom-:"Oh, one of her friends, the one she usually goes to the casino with, has been making a jackass out of herself over a man. She's older then me."
This from a woman who talks over the soap operas when there is any kind of kissing scene, fast forwards through any kind of love scene in a movie while making comments about how they (the writers) can't think of anything else, and constantly let's everyone know that men are all morons who can't keep their promises or keep it in their pants. My mom has become so, intolerant over the years of anything to do with relationships, romance, dating, sex etc.
There is a reason I never introduce boyfriends to my mom, or talk about any of my relationships/ex-boyfriends with her. She's beyond bitter.
I thought I was a mess over men. I might be constantly asking "what went wrong?" but, I know there are still decent ones out there.
Mom-:"The woman is taking photos of herself with the guy, putting them up on her profile, leaving comments for him on his profile, talking about him all the time...ridiculous! She's in her late 60's, she should know better. No one needs to see them standing there in front of some mountain somewhere...it's bad enough when someone in their twenties does that, but come on. She's too old to get married, he's never going to stay with her, what would he see in her at her age. Not like they've been together for decades or anything, just met last month at some dinner. Next week she'll be crying, after he leaves her for someone in their 50's. Just look at him."
I sat there listening to this, having to really keep myself from laughing. If being happy, and sharing that happiness is being a jackass over a man, then I guess we're all in trouble.
