And now let us discuss my first father-in-law, Dad of my first husband who was my first love at age 14, married at 18. He left me three years later and broke my heart into a thousand pieces.
HIS father was the civil engineer over all of Anne Arundel county Merryland. His mother was at first a school teacher, taught 3rd grade, then went on to become a psychotherapist for Johns Hopkins, worked as a counselor for the United Auto Workers in fact.
My girlfriend told me right from the start that my father-in-law spooked her, that she felt his eyes undressing her whenever he was around.
I pooh-poohed her. Goodness my in laws were big people on the town, important....head engineer for Anne Arundel county, whatever that meant.
Then Rick leaves me with a broken heart.
His mother was nice about it, telling me that I will meet someone else....I was about 22 at the time. Yeah, this big woman about town teaching kids and married to a pervert who thought it was just fine to put his arm up women’s skirts in his surround.
You know I never told my husband about it, nor his woman of the world wife. I DIDN’T THINK THEY WOULD BELIEVE ME!
So a few years later I chance to see former mother-in-law in a local restaurant, said Hi, reported on my new marriage and new baby and she was sweet.
As she walked away all I could think is does that woman, a teacher of chidren mind you, have any idea the creep she’s married to?
Powerful men.....they think they have the right to feel up a woman if they want.
And y’all wonder why I was such a women’s libber in my day.
I....on the other hand, might not have been a teacher or psycho-therapist for the UAW, but I was very pretty AND quite smart. I didn’t know who I was half the time.
As I watched my former mother-in-law walk away after restaurant greetings I shook my head sadly.
How pathetic that woman has no idea just who she is married to. And she acts like she’s better than anyone else.
Just a bunch of words above but I bet EVERY female on the planet has had unwelcome gropes that they don’t discuss.
It’s not a compliment. It’s a damn insult to have some guy think he can put his hand on your private parts....that YOU’LL LIKE IT!
Bah, humbug!
“...Just a bunch of words above but I bet EVERY female on the planet has had unwelcome gropes that they don’t discuss...”
Many males get unwanted advances, not from females, but from homosexuals. Even if it is just verbal and not touching, it is still just nauseating. So we can relate to your feelings on those inappropriate advances you have endured.
