Only a Fool

what kind of man would leave his woman outside the boundary line

suffering,

gasping for anything to sustain

her

while he continues, obliviously

rambling on about his day

chatting non-stop about the weather, 

wondering what to eat for dinner

as she lays there, unnoticed

hours and days and weeks go by

hope fades,

darkness arrives ...

aloha alisa, the wittiest woman I know - married for 40 years and in the house with 'him' 24/7 - she often says to me "Anto, he doesnt say a word." She is the funnest lady ever, I don't know what to make of it.
Its sad - its lost

Hello ANTO,

It does make you wonder, sometimes... doesn't it?

Why would two people even bother to be in a relationship, one that is with your heartbeat...commit your life together... all for what?

No open and honest communication? Can't two people who love each other agree to disagree and still move forward on a solid foundation of mutual respect and honor? How does it disintegrate into this level of nothingness?? where one is completely oblivious to the needs of the other???

hmmmm..

I have no answers..

It does and yet they are ... I think it could be something like this (ANTO ALERT!! lol) - I read a biography of a guy who was lost at sea for many weeks and he survived by eating fish and he got his water needs from the eyes - he said that at the beginning he literally vomm'ed each time he went to eat the raw fish eyes - but he said he began to feel a change in his attitude towards this unusual (for him) food source. He said that he actually started to crave them after a spell - as we might crave chocolates. Psychologists later described the process as the brain changing the perception of the guy to crave the fish eyes because the brain knew the only source of life-saving water was in the eyes. Now ...

Maybe our brain changes towards someone - they may seem revolting or the situation as revolting as eating fish eyes but to the altered brain it might seem perfectly resaonable to be there and not to be completely deadened by it.
Just a wee thought Alisa .

😃 hello ANTO,

It does make you take a second look at the life changing power of perspective, don't you agree?

Hmmmm😃

[ANTO]

Certainly it does - it makes me wonder who is driving the perspective too - in the case of the sailor I'd have said that primal instinct was in control but would that 'giving over control' change us forever... hmm
as always - anto

Oh dear. Yes, men are all too caught up in themselves nowadays, I'm afraid. So sad. Very sad.

[Alisa Js]

Thank you for your comments. I wonder why it's that way now... what has happened to the true gentleman?

[.]

~~ i'm a victim of this syndrome... so i relate to this a lot... and i also know what happens to the man who does this... he eventually lands up in the deepest and darkest dungeon of despair that one can imagine... and then it is that very partner... who... out of compassion... helps out... ~~ very precisely expressed, my friend... ~~ excellent work...

[Alisa Js]

So sorry to hear this, serah...sadly there are so many who are hurt in this way. It simply isn't fair
😞

[.]

~~ yeah... ~~ but don't worry... i'll get out of this situation with my peace intact... with or without him...

[Alisa Js]

Indeed...💥

[jacob erin-cilberto]

this is a strong comment on the self-centeredness of many people...all about themselves so much they never even notice their partner...she is there to sustain him...
how sad.

[Alisa Js]

Yet, this is so true and happens on a daily basis all around the planet...
