No Bathroom Memories

January 7, 2021 admin 0 Comments

I am so disappointed. My first love has broken my heart. She broke my heart when she left me almost thirty years ago and she’s broken my heart again. No more than two hours ago I was more excited than I have been in years. I was finally about to see her, to talk to her, to reminisce with her. She looked exactly like she used to, just a bit softer around the edges. I was taken aback by how much her presence affected me. 

I lasted about an hour before I mentioned the bathroom renovation that my wife and I are currently having done in our home. I thought she would realise the significance of the renovation immediately, but instead, her reaction was something along the lines of: “That’s lovely! My husband and I are currently renovating our kitchen.” 

I was flabbergasted. Not only did she not understand the importance of mentioning the bathroom renovation, she also had the audacity to talk about her husband when she should have been gushing about the moment we fell in love. I was truly upset. I tried holding it together but I think she could tell that I wasn’t okay.

She didn’t ask me what was wrong, instead, she just went to the bathroom for thirty minutes and when she came back out she said she had to go. Her excuse involved something to do with her kitchen designers. Melbourne based kitchen and bathroom designers appreciate that the owners of the home they’re working on can’t be around all the time. I’ve never been disrupted by my bathroom designer. It’s either a weird coastal border thing, or she just didn’t want to spend time with me any more.

I’m supposed to be here for the entire week. I thought she’d want to spend time with me. I can’t go home early or it’ll look like something went wrong. I guess I’ll just hope she changes her mind and wants to meet.
