On the Rocks


     Would you rather have your favorite beverage on the rocks or a relationship on the rocks?  I would rather have a drink personally.  Dealing with some people requires a drink, and quite a stiff one at that.  Better to be numbed by the glorious effects of alcohol than deal with their venom completely sober.  Relationships on the rocks are just a pain in my a$$ that I would rather not deal with. I have no time for them.  Get along or get out of my life, which is my motto. 




     Some people who shall remain nameless live to stir the $hit and love nothing better than to ruin the holidays with their drama.  What do they get out of it?  Are they looking for attention?  All they get when they involve me in such activity is left to stew in their hatred and discontent alone.  I have no intention of rewarding such behavior with my presence or subjecting my family to it.  The irony is, when you refuse to play along…the instigator ends up ruining their own parade in the end.


       People that pull that crap with me honestly don’t get far.  I hate people who are two faced, and while I love nothing better than giving someone the benefit of the doubt; some people don’t deserve the pleasure.  I have found in my life that people that are given the benefit of the doubt invariably prove they didn’t deserve it in the first place.  They stir the $hit once again.  Why?   In my mind, when everything is rosy and everyone is getting along someone who stirs the $hit is screaming for attention.  Look at me! Look at me!  Come over to my house so we can have World War 3 because I like to! Let’s make this a holiday to remember!!  Then they can’t understand why no one shows up.   No matter how hard you try to get along with a person like this, you will always fail.  They can not be trusted, and I kick myself hard for being stupid enough to give this person the benefit of the doubt, AGAIN.  What was I thinking?




        For the record, I pride myself on telling it just how it is.  I don’t like liars, and I don’t play games.  I am me, take me or leave me.  I would rather live in a world with no chaos, happiness, rainbows, and fanciful unicorns hopping about than get involved in mortal combat with some idiot craving attention.  It is just the way I am.  Someone who makes up lies about you is not on your side, and will never be your friend.  Your relationship is on the rocks and will forever stay that way.


         For better or worse I tend to cut poisonous people out of my life after giving them more chances than they deserve.  I avoid people like that like the plague.  I don’t understand their viciousness and have no tolerance for the evil that lives within them.  For obvious reasons, I don’t want people like this for company and I sure as hell don’t want my husband or children anywhere near people like this either.  It leaves me with a small circle of trusted companions who I love dearly and will go through the fire for.  Life is entirely too short to fill it with people who get their jollies making others miserable.   Ever noticed how the person pointing fingers screaming liar, liar is the biggest one of all?  


     The same person will show the rest of the world an entirely different face designed to garner sympathy much like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.    It is funny how that venom ricochets back like a cursed boomerang.  As they say fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.   If you can’t handle yourself any better than that then our relationship will remain on the rocks, I will learn not to trust you, and see you for the unstable psychopath you are  until next time when I give you another glimpse into the life of a trucker’s wife.

  1. Though you have many terrific qualities, I think what I find most endearing about you is that you are a straight-shooter. We all know people like the ones you describe here, and some folks seem to thrive on getting into it with them. Personally, I steer clear of the nonsense whenever possible.

    My default mode is to trust, but once that trust is broken, I'm done. When people show who they are, I believe them.

  2. All you can do is just say it like it is and cut out those that make you unhappy. Hopefully you are not dealing with it in your life now.

  3. Unfortunately, we all have people like this in our lives. I find the older I get the less tolerance I have for game playing. We really shouldnt have to deal with so much nonsense. Life dishes out enough at all of us, without extra conflicts. I like your honest, tell it like it is approach. Keep being true to yourself!

    1. Katrin, I am so pleased you enjoyed my post and my tell it like it is style. That is a lot of the reason I just don't understand what the fascination is to talk behind someone's back with such venom. Half the problem is people don't like the truth. So they make things up and say someone else is lying. You would think eventually someone would own their own actions and grow up. It is just annoying. Thank you for stopping by to read and for your comments. ♥

  5. The rockiest relationship I continue to have is between me and my passive aggressive and incredibly emotionally abusive mother. She never says what she means, then will send a letter weeks later outlining all the ways I am a piece of crap and what I said/did or whatever bothered her now that she's had time to think about it. Believe me, if Russell would have been willing to move west, I'd still be 3000 miles away from her instead of putting up with her demands and digs/sarcastic asides, all said with a smile on her face.

    1. JoJo, I am so sorry. How awful! It always makes me wonder why we have to deal with people like this in our lives. Maybe you could convince him with more persuasion? I have an idea what you are going through, and no it is not fun. Thank you for stopping by to read and for your comments!♥
