This might grow into a rant and be better suited for the Pit. Mod’s - feel free to move it as you see fit.
Mrs. Tonk, left town today for a weekend vacation with the client she’s been sleeping with. No big deal really, as it’s my week to live in the house with the kids.
She told me about her trip a few days ago, and I asked if the trip was for business or pleasure or some special event. She said it was just a good price on airline tickets. Whatever.
But this afternoon it occurred to me just how fucked up this is. She won’t be back until late Sunday evening after the kids are asleep. Sunday is Mothers’ Day. And she’d rather be out of town than with her kids. Damn.
Sometimes it’s difficult to maintain objectivity and reserve judgement. Not that I’m going to bring up the issue with the kids, but I haven’t figured out how I’m going to explain her absence if they start asking questions.
