We are defined by our choices

It's your birthday.

Three years ago you chose my philandering wife over me.

She has less than a third of my intellectual firepower.

She is unable to experience shame.

She's selfish in the bad way that leads to chronic non-disclosure.

She has yet to succeed at her ambitions.

She gaslights and trash-talks her friends.

It's always someone else’s fault, when she’s needed but absent (as she was for you when your marriage ended).

So why did you do that? I hope she's not part of your birthday. It reflects poorly on you. Your choice.

And don’t worry that I judge you.  I’m in no position to do that of course.  I endorsed and supported her for 28 years despite the abuse she heaped on me and so many other people we both know. 

I take full responsibility.
