Putting Up...

My husband he, has lost much weight,
the strain of me has been too much.
Tried to leave me, then refrained
as lustfulness had lost its touch.

Today I had to buy new jeans.
My black ones seemed to disappear.
I'm rather poor at moments time,
but missing them, was nothing mere.

I saw them just the other day,
Were in the wash, then folded dry.
I held them up, they're now too small
as heat will shrink them tight to thigh...

"Darn", I said, "how could you take
and wear my jeans, don't your eyes see?"
Above the pocket were the words
Wranglers Womens, made for me!

I give up, sometimes, on him,
that drinking really takes its toll.
But I have new, a pair of jeans,
And touch them not, or heads will roll!!

(big hugggsssssss) oh Maureen, this is soooo sad but wonderfully expressed, sweet friend, my heart goes out to this troubling relationship experience and I hope this is not a current experience of yours!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Maureen, I am sorry, I have had this in my life and it stinks. Cannot make sense with someone when they are drinking. That is why I hate liquor so much.Some people just cannot control it. Very very good expression here, I really like this one. It is so real. floria

Floria, thanks..I have finally gotten use to him and his antics...and he now lives, for the time being in the oversized dog house out back(the barn)...where he actually likes his one room while I am in our 13 room house.. now that is  bizarre..or maybe that  could be not saying very much about me..uh oh...*lol

*w, cause I know better

Maureen, do you have enough room out there for another one? LOL, well mine is not quite that bad, he has gone in for help and it worked but you never know when the shoe will drop again..so keep some room there just in case. LOL,, got to keep that great sense of humor going. floria

Floria.. it is I that has needed the help all along..to understand that he does and will forever prefer the bottle and the bar scene to me...well and those younger women who  entice... So send yours down anytime...mine is really not going to be  mine..or maybe he isn't mine anymore ..just is biding the time til one of us can afford to get  rid of the other...I'm smiling...am not bothered by it anymore..we sort of get along like brother and sister now...even the fighting is gone...just care for one another for the years  shared..thought I would never finally feel that way either...*s thanks for understanding...and getting a kick out of this...
