I can read you like a
book.
That's what he said each time I
wanted to do something. He'd order my food at
restaurants because he knew what I wanted.
He'd buy jewellery and clothes for
me because he knew my tastes.
He said he wanted to improve me and if I truly loved him I’d
follow his advice.
So when we remodelled the kitchen he picked out the décor he
knew I would like.
I am glad he chose that expensive meat cleaver with the
high-carbon stainless steel blade.
Worked like a treat.

I'd love read what you think about this post...
I'm sure the chest freezer came in handy too
ReplyDeleteHa! Ha! Now that's an idea.
DeleteAt last, a decision of her own! Nice one.
ReplyDeleteMy story is a but click away!
She finally gave him the chop.
DeleteThe architect of his own demise. Nice one!
ReplyDeleteThose kitchen remodelings come at a cost.
DeleteYikes! Wasn't expecting that ending. Thanks for surprising me!

I'll bet he wasn't expecting it either ;-) Thanks for your comments Susan.
DeleteSo happy to hear he chose well. May he rest in peace in a place of your choosing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa, I guess the freezer will do for now.
DeleteDear Subroto,
ReplyDeleteOh my! A rather drastic solution to her problem. Still, being with a control freak like him it should be considered justifiable homicide. Good one.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks Rochelle, he finally got her something she could use.
DeleteHe obviously didn't see that ending to the book coming!
ReplyDeleteDidn't end the way he wanted it to.
Deletei guess one can only take so much abuse.
ReplyDeleteTrue. He should not have bought that knife.
DeleteA control freak meets his nemesis. And not before time, by the sound of it. Nice one.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandra, it was only a matter of time before he got carved up.
DeleteThere were some secret pages in that book.
ReplyDeletePygmalion never liked her creator did she?
Thanks Björn, there are plenty of secrets in the book.
DeleteBut regarding Pygmalion the play, it's ending was left unresolved. Though he wrote a whole postscript to make it clear. Shaw really disliked the way the movie ended. Shaw wrote: "Galatea, the woman who comes to life in the myth, never does quite like Pygmalion. His relation to her is too God-like to be altogether agreeable."
Uh, oh. It seems he won't be choosing anything else for her. ---- Suzanne
ReplyDeleteI think you have that right Suzanne
DeleteI really don't often approve of murder, but I will make an exception in this case. I took an instant dislike to the guy, so I didn't mind saying goodbye :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda I am glad you approve.
DeleteWhy murder... Why not just left!!
ReplyDeleteSometimes people reach a breaking point. Thanks for reading and commenting Ira.
