Anyway, she called and we had a long chat about things. She told me that it got frightening to see the way I had become so comfortable with the "not nice" people that I actually seemed to be one of them. She didn't give me any ultimatums but suggested that it was time I moved up a little in the world and she'd be there to help me up.
Funnily enough, she's serious. She just sent me an email to tell her that she wants me to be a better man. I'm a little taken back. I've never been involved with someone who actually has my interest at heart and wants the best for me. It's a sad admission for me to make but I've grown so used to having "bad" people, particularly women around me that having someone who is actually good is a bit of new experience to me and the best part is, she's not doing it to gain approval of friends and family but because she genuinely cares about me and for me, that's really strange......I mean it makes life as a misogynist quite complicated, I mean how do you think of women as useless and irrelevant when you've got one driving you forward like good medicine.
I remember my Dad did tell me, "It's true about about the woman behind the man." He would know, his current girlfriend, my "HK Stepmother" has been a dynamo for him. The woman keeps him sensible in his spending and ensures he does what he needs to do to bring in the money. My father paid of debts that nobody thought was possible (he refused to file for bankruptcy even though the banks advised him that it was in his interest to do so) and has quite a good life. OK, he's not as well to do as he once was, but he's made a comeback and I think the credit needs to go to her.
I've not made the money my father has. Hell, I'm usually bottom feeding and it's unusual to have someone by your side who cares and even though I actually have had a major income reduction, I think life is going to look a little brighter ;)
