Gavin (husband)
Jake
It was a regular monotonous day for this boring stay at home mom. As I stood folding the unending laundry, trying to remember the last time I felt anything slightly resembling passion.....or freedom.I'm not sure I even recognize this woman anymore. I've been married to the same manchild for 20 years. I've held steady to my vows, even if they were done at a District Justice in a 15min ceremony. And our three children bring more joy to my life than I can express.
I've spent my whole life being shown the very worst of what humanity has to offer. Almost everyone who has promised to love or care for me has ended up hurting me in ways I cannot begin to explain. I'm left with these invisible scars that they label with names like PTSD, severe depression, anxiety, personality disorders.........so maybe monotomy is...........good? I don't know anymore
But....is this all there is? 38 years old and I have no part of myself.
Aria
Hun, PLEASE tell me you took care of the rent on time this month?!
Gavin
Yeah babe, don't worry about it. I got it taken care of. Why do you always doubt me?!
Aria
Because we've been together since we were 18 and I've seen you're track record. I'm not looking for a fight. I was just making sure, alright.
Gavin has a good job but for some reason he never has money. He refuses to let me do the finances since he earns it and feels I already make him feel like less of a man with my personality and sarcasm. He has gotten us evicted from places, lost our house, run up bills and had utilities shut off all because he just assumes eventually his parents will bail him out. Hence the manchild......
Cell phone rings
Tanya
Hey girl!!!!!! Before you even attempt to cancel on me, you promised you would go out and get a few drinks with me tonight!!!!
Aria
I know, I know. Hold on
*to Gavin* Are you still okay to watch the baby tonight so I can go out with Tanya?
I shouldn't have to ask considering they're his kids too.....but our situation is what it is. And I shouldn't use the term baby since our youngest is 5. And he's the only one who needs to be watched since the other two are 13 and 18.
Gavin
For real?! He's always so f@cking bad!!!!!
Aria
He's your son too and he's 5!!! Why do you ?omplain so much?! Before I go I'll grab him a happy meal from McDonalds and see if they have a Miserable A$$hole meal for you while I'm there. I never get to go out. Deal with it.
Tanya
Hahahahaha.......miserable a$$hole meal.....hahahahaha. See you at the bar at 9pm. And put something on besides yoga pants and a tshirt. You actually have a nice body, wear clothes to show that shit off!!! If I had a small waist with your a$$ and b@@bs, I'd be playing up my A$$etts. Get it?!
Aria
Yeah Tanya, I get it. And why exactly am I playing up any assets? I don't plan on talking to anyone but you.
Tanya
What the hell Aria?! It's not like there's nothing wrong with a little harmless flirting or getting some attention.....or God forbid, a compliment! You sure as sh!t aren't getting that at home! And I'm not telling you to screw anyone in a dirty bathroom or leave with anyone.
Aria
Gavin still.........gives me attention.....sometimes.
Tanya
Yeah.....when he wants to get in your pants. And then what?! You get all of five, ten minutes. Jesus! You're always so damned responsible. You always make sure you do what's best for everyone else even when you're f@cking miserable. Just go out with me tonight and be you. Not a wife, not a mom......just some beautiful ladies out for drinks having a good time. Promise me!!!
Aria
Alright Tanya. I promise. I'll just try to be me without holding back.
Lord help me. This night could get interesting.
