Desire. Ask. Believe. Receive.

After this morning's discussion with my boss I was having a conversation with a co-worker who informed me of another conversation that she had had with my boss in which he told her once of the time his wife burned the bread she was baking (from scratch). He came home to find a disgusting, smokey, smelly kitchen and his wife was the culprit. TO TEACH HER A LESSON, he put the bread on a plate and made her carry it around for the rest of the day, so that she would never get away from the smell or the shame of that burnt loaf of bread.

I repeat here, ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!? He did this to his wife? And wait, let me check, this IS the new millennium, is it not? They were not married in 1840, correct? And, AND, he came into to work and ADMITTED (in fact came just short of bragging about) this fact?!? I am floored. Absolutely floored.

And they've only been married less than two years!! Not that any more or less time together would excuse such behavior, but if a husband will pull that crap in such a short time together I shudder to think what he'll be pulling 5, 10, 15 years from now.

Oh, and her reaction, to continue to put up with his untenable behavior, file under "absolutely heartbreaking" and I mean that in the truest, most heartfelt sense of the word.
