the truth comes out.

“i’m finding some really cool jobs online krista….”
“like what? i hope you are looking for legit jobs and not just playing around.”
“no. real jobs. i’ve found some cool home-based business opportunities that i am excited about!!!”

oh.my.gawd.
is this really my life? did i really wake up one day married to someone that gets sucked into one get rich quick scheme after the other with never learning the valuable lesson that pyramids and handwritten “work-from-home” ads that people stick into the muddy street corners are smart career choices?!

i mean, i kept my mouth shut when he joined the pyramid. even though at the time he would chastise me and claim it wasn’t a pyramid directly after drawing me the structure of company…that was ironically shaped JUST like a pyramid.

but after the past few months. after the past 25 days of me living at mom and dad’s and him looking for a place to stay until i ::he crosses his fingers:: ask him to come back home and give this marriage one last go. after we seperated our finances along with the rest of our lives. after he had to ask him parents to pay for his car note and his school loan and i had to ask my dad to help me with the mortgage, because i can’t make it on my own.

after he has hardly made any money in the past few months because…of his….roadblocks? because of his selfishness. his laziness? his lack of work ethic (which….come on. mine isn’t much better. it’s probably worse. but that’s the luxury of my salary-work-for-mom-and-dad-job. i can get away with doing the bare minimum and still bring home enough money to ALMOST cover the bills…)

after all of this.
the pouring out of the wedding memories?
the use of the first $100 that we had as a married couple?
the boxing up of all of his things?
the telling him i want a divorce?
after all of this…

he finally starts to tinker with looking for a job and it’s another stupid dead-end propaganda filled lie?!?!?!?!

and before i can say any of this to him (even though all of those thoughts and then some filled my head within the 3 seconds after he said it.)

he declares proudly into the phone:

“JUSSSSSSST KIDDING!!!!!!!”

::blank stare::

that’s pretty funny if i say so myself. what a relief, because…i was LITERALLY about to hang up on him and call for an appt with a lawyer to go ahead with divorce proceedings. it’s not much. this seperation is far from over, but at least there was a sense of fun in his voice. i mean, that’s something right? it’s not payment on the credit card bill, or even food on the table, but it was a smile.

and i have always tried to impress upon him when he has these ridiculous fancies of becoming rich; i don’t care about being rich. i care about being happy.
and really, at this point, i’m neither one. so if he works on one of those two goals, maybe we will end up somewhere?

at this point, i still doubt it.
but at least i am laughing.
