Had a yak-fest yesterday on the phone with a very old and very dear friend. We go back 35 years. Brought back memories of a complete b-tch we both knew. This was a woman who went out of her way to be an obstructionist and a contrarian. Thanks to her own personality, she snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory.
Time and time again.
I had to deal with her for 25 years. It was no picnic. Thankfully, I can be a supreme b-tch myself, so was able to bring out the heavy artillery when required to protect myself from the venom. I think "bitchiness" comes from a deep hatred of oneself, but manifests itself by imposing the self-loathing on others. Don't you? And why is it usually women who are the b-tches?
Thankfully, moving to Calgary removed this person from our lives.
Do you think women who divorce their husbands should be allowed to keep the ex's name? I think the ex should have to give approval. My stepson agrees. When I divorced I had to think about whether I would go back to my maiden name because I certainly couldn't keep my married name. When I re-married, I took on my husband's.
So, that's how "Nancy Griffith Marley-Clarke" came about. Man, what a handle!
