Schadenfreude

Hello Everyone:

So happy this week is over and the new one on the way. After getting through a stomach virus and major technical difficulties, I'm so ready for a fresh week. The Sometime BF came over yesterday and we spent a very pleasant afternoon sitting on the Farmers Market patio, enjoying a cold drink, chatting away. I finally told him about the Brit BF and he was quite surprised by it. He didn't think I would date or sleep with a non-Jewish Afro-Englishman. No shame in my part. He asked me what the attraction was and I honestly told him it was the brains. He also asked what mum's reaction was: not happy. Then he started comparing himself to the Brit BF. I had to put a quick end to that. Comparison is such a killer. I took it a step further and showed him a picture of the abusive ex and grossed myself out. Seriously. I had to cleanse my visual palette with pictures of my favorite band.  He looks like he really went to pot. He got obese and scraggly. I mean, he was never tall and slender but this was awful. Now he looks like one of those guys that show up to some sports bar's daily happy hour or when there's a "big game" on television to take advantage of the cheap watered down drinks and rubbery chicken fingers.  In between the daily pub crawls, he probably trolls other people's social media pages (not mine). Oh and one other amusing fact: he's single again. I guess his "alleged wife" got sick of him and his crap, took their "alleged son;" left his sorry fat behind. I went as far to check out some his posts, which exhibit all the emotional maturity of teenage girl. Sorry to insult all the teenage girls but we're talking about a grown, supposedlymsture and responsible man. Let me clarify a chronologically adult male with the intellectual capacity of a turnip and stunted maturity.  Otherwise, he sounds like a really great guy you could plan your life with, right? (sarcasm alert). Now I feel a little less bad about my life. Just thinking about how pathetic he is gives me a little boost. Schadenfreude.
