The Other Woman



      








I know what I said earlier about renewing the upcoming wedding vows ....but I have to confess.....I never thought I would have to contend with "the other woman" in my life. I should have known that like most men, Tony would eventually fall for some sweet, demure, beautiful, adoring female. To make things even worse, they have the audacity to rub my nose in it. I can see why he's become so smitten. Unlike me, she never asks him to take out the garbage or nags him about getting a hair cut or reminds him of the never ending honey do list. Oh nooooo...her sole purpose in life is to constantly fawn over him and be completely non-demanding. What man could resist that. It's been going on for a while. It started about three years ago when Tara moved back home and brought Her. I never saw it coming. At first she acted shy, then she started flirting with him and the next thing I know she's all over him. Sometimes when he thinks I'm not around I overhear him sweet talking her. There are times when she blatantly flaunts her allure over him in my face. It's particularly nauseating to see her look up at him with those big green adoring eyes and reach up and lovingly touch his face! The little trollop. It's not bad enough that I have to watch this display every day but now I have to see it on the weekends too. When we go to the camp She has to come too. Not only that....she has has claimed a place right in the middle of our bed. I guess I can't really blame her for falling hard for him...heck I did the same thing 38 years ago!  Still....I think I am a lucky woman even if I have to share his attention with Her. LUCKY ! - you say. Yep. Anytime a cat falls that hard for a man and visa versa - he has to be a pretty good guy - right?
