Something I didn't post about last night was the conversation at Kroger's.
His friend, L, needed a razor as she'd left hers at her boyfriend's place in the sudden move. We were over there looking and
lackland pointed one out to her that was cheaper than the replacement blades she was considering. She commented that it even had a little battery with it. He said to keep it away from me. I know I colored a bit when I replied that I have my own batteries thank you very much. L spoke up and said not to be embarrassed, she had toys too. I said that I don't have a problem with people knowing that I have toys, just that it didn't need to be brought up in the middle of the grocery store. He gets a huge grin and tells me not to forget to take the charger with me when I leave town Friday night.
It took everything I had to not slap the shit out of him.
Later he told her that he didn't act any different just because certain people were around. I think I hurt myself by biting my tongue to refrain from commenting with my first thought. "Yeah, you're an ass all the time."
55 Days. I 'will' do this.
Though I am struck by the parallels in her life and mine where he is concerned. When I met him he was renting a room from a friend, I was running from an abusive relationship, and didn't trust the guy not to find me if I was on my own.
