It's Makeover's Y'all!

So, my mother-in-law and her sister (Aunt-in-law?) stopped over last night. They are so concerned over what happened. What went wrong? What was so horrible about our relationship that it wasn't worth saving?

His mother likes to disect him. His every word, move, thought... She said he's not a very thoughtful man. More focused on himself then others. Quite selfish actually. She also noted he was quite lazy and very messy. Very very messy. There was a lengthy discussion on how he constantly pee's on the side of the toilet and never cleans it up. She also went into length about how he never shares his feelings, and has no empathy if someone else is upset, and can come off cold and uncaring, even though he may actually care. He just doesn't know how to show it. She then went into an example about how he is a horrible communicator. Really. Horrible. Example:
His Mom: Hi Son, how are you today?
Him: Fine
His Mom: How are you doing? What's new?
Him: Nothing
His Mom: What are you up to today?
Him: I dunno
His Mom: Want to get together for lunch?
Him: No
His Mom: Why?
Him: I'm sick...
His Mom: WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?
Him: You didn't ask!

Frustrating - I know. Normal people would be like:
You: Hi, How are you?
Me: Ugh, I'm sick - some kind of flu I think.
But if you don't ask the perfectly worded question, you will never know whats going on with him.
After this lengthy discussion my Aunt-in-law says "Wow, I really think you are way better off without him". She is quite disappointed in him and has never tried to hide it. She thinks he's making a huge mistake and isn't afraid to admit it.
Now as much as I love these bitch sessions, America's Next Top Model is on Y'all! AND!! It's MAKEOVER week!!!
HELLO!

Luckily I had it on the correct channel all night so I could just rewind it and watch it. I love me some ANTM makeovers.

  1. Ha! I knew it. So as horrible as it was that he left you, he actually saved you the trouble of spending the rest of your life with a good-for-nothing husband. And now you're free to find a guy that actually talks back to you, imagine that! :) Hang in there girl, it will all work for your benefit!

  3. Hey, I'm just stopping in from SITS.

    I'm sorry about what you're going through, but it sounds like even his family agree that it's for the best!

  4. You know that yes, you loved him and it will hurt for some time, butttt, you also know you are soooo much better off. Dont waste any of your time crying over him, he doesnt deserve it. Get your sexy on, and think of all the new possibilities out there! Life is short, and much too short to waste on someone selfish. Thank goodness you didnt have any kiddies with him. Yikes... and now you can have a sanitary bathroom hehe, and a clean house.

  5. That kind of validation -- from his family, of all people -- is wonderful. I have received some, too, and it does feel good.

    But it doesn't lessen the pain or your devastation. Stay strong!
