Ok so I went out yesterday after she posted about the cinema so I’m sorry I’m just catching up on all this date day drama!
Now the cinema I get; me and Mr B often go see a film together (I work part time and he works shifts, so we sometimes have weekdays off when the kids are at school). I even get the theme park - you could avoid Thomas Land and just do more thrill rides, we did Thorpe Park together without kids a few years ago as ours were too small/wimpy for the big rollercoasters. (Altho we do both go on them, not sure taking photos of your husband while he rides alone is really the idea!) And it’s a theme night with music and a bar so potentially really good fun if you’re actually, you know, fun people. Then have a few drinks at home and put on your favourite show/film whatever, have a laugh and a sing. All good. You do you. Whatever you enjoy together.
BUT. What I’m struggling with is the AD, only doing things because it’s free and you have to for work. The “I took HIM”. Not how a partnership works. The fact that she’s trying to make him seem like he has a personality, like all her followers should be impressed and amazed that her husband would dare to enjoy himself and look happy. WTF?!? The dressing gown. The incessant social media posting of the bits that weren’t for “werk”. The ridiculous love notes from children who should definitely be able to cope with a night away from their parents. The complete awkwardness of it all. They seem like uni room mates who have been assigned to live together and have to get to know each other. Not a married couple who feel relaxed and comfortable and happy to be in each other’s company. It’s so bloody weird!
My kids went for a sleepover yesterday - we walked the dog, got a #bitrude, got ready, went to do an escape room and had a meal/cocktails with some friends, came home. No posts on social media. No awkward photos taken (oh except the panic room took a group photo because they always do
). Just a normal night spending time with each other, because we actually love each other and want to hang out together, and seeing our friends, because we have them and like to see them! I sometimes feel sorry for Babs and PUS that they just seem so pathetically unhappy together and have no friends to see, but then I pull myself together and remember that they’re money grabbing, attention seeking twats who have no concern for the over sharing of their lives and their children’s. And I get over it.
. I doubt he had much difficulty keeping his hands off her either.
