Forgiving Mercury Man
I have been having a difficult time with Mercury Man this week...I won't go into details but what he did was really bad and he messed up Big Time. Just being an all around a-hole caveman pig. There must be something going around because a lot of my friend's husbands/boyfriends are acting the fool too. Humph. I didn't talk to him for 2 days and only spoke to him a little yesterday. He's been moping around the house looking all hang-dog and woebegone, I just want to kick him.
So this morning when I started working and I looked at these 2 pics of him which I keep on my desk...and I started getting all misty-eyed remembering him from long ago and remembering what about him I love so much. I am really struggling to forgive him and let this go. He told me the other day that he feels really bad about it and he wished I understood that. I told him I didn't give a f%#& what he was feeling and that he was an ass to try to put his feelings on me. and I didn't care, truly. But today I am trying to take his feelings into account, which must mean I am on the way to forgiveness.
This pic is from '97 or '98, he was working at a Hallmark store processing all the film that came in. Often people would bring in disposable cameras that they hadn't used all the film in, so he would take silly pics of himself with them. These days he probably would get fired for stuff like that but his boss then didn't care. This is one of my favorites:
This was from some years earlier, he was the photo editor of one of the school papers and we hung out in the office all the time. I love this pic! It so captures his funness and spontaneity:
Me and him last year, I also keep this pic on my desk:
I really really love love love this man. And we are together through thick and thin, having survived a near-divorce in 2002. I would like to be mature enough to make this 'down-time' as short as possible...but I don't think I can be mature right now. But looking at these pics helped me to realize that our love will win out and we'll make it through this.
I might even talk to him some more today, LOL. He just sent me a corny text with the smileys with hearts on it :)
