caught under the covers “Marla spends so much time with her books she might as well be cheating on me,” said the man who actually cheated on me for years, like with an actual person and sex thankfully, the courts here in South Carolina don’t recognize reading as adultery—phew! * Grateful this morning for the opportunity to turn pain into poems.
It’s often the things people accuse others of doing that they’re actually hiding themselves... but this one was super ridiculous. Smh I’m glad you’re free.
This poem made me laugh out loud. Your ex was SOMETHING. And to compare book reading to adultery? Good grief! Glad you are you, friend, and that you were able to use this painful time in such a smart, funny way.
Thank you, friend. 💗 I’m glad I’m free too. There was a lot of pain first, but it has largely faded. The freedom keeps tasting better and better though.
And you of 3 years ago probably had no idea how/when you could ever get to that point. [I'm currently reflecting on how me of a year ago was struggling so hard with all the PPD issues and now I adore my little guy and am so grateful for him.] I'm so glad for you.
What a piece of work he was. Thankful you’re living a new life without that kind of bull$hit. 🩷🦋
Me too. Thank you, friend. 💗
good riddance. I'm glad you're in a better place with amazing books and no lying misogynist
Me too. Thank you, friend. 💗
Defining reading as adultery sounds like the premise of a dystopian novel, The Handmaid's Tale meets Fahrenheit 451.
Yeaaaah.

He WHAT?!?? Oh, uh-uh.
I’m glad you’re free of that.

😳😮😳😮😳😮 THE AUDACITY 🤯
I’m so glad you’re able to cope with a little humor, Marla!!
Thank you, friend. 💗 It took me almost 3 years to get to where I can share this and think it’s funny.
I might have to put this in the show as the last word on your ex.
Do it. 💜🎶
