I look at pictures of happy couples with their 2.4 kids and their over priced professional staged pictures capturing that sugary sweet halmark moment.
What does it sound like in between? Kids screaming, husband yelling at the wife to watch the kids or sitting there looking disinterested until it's time to smile. Can he wipe that smarmy look off of his face? Or does he have to be posed strategically so that his face is not showing.
I know that look. The over reaching attempts to create the Martha Stewart family time. The gatherings with matching sweaters and pajamas. Look at us, we're solid. We're a family.
She got what she wanted...maybe. The beautiful house, the kids, the...husband? Or is he just a wallet.
He got what he wanted...The beautiful house, the prestige of a high position job (with an education bought by his former wife). He also got to play the passive * life just happens* card in case something goes wrong. Then he can say he didn't have a choice and he had to make the best of it and face his responsibilities. His friends already say this for him. He has their sympathy. They're foolish too.
