You know, this is becoming a more and more regular thing. I should probably title this post "Weekly Conversations with an Idiot"....but alas..I'll be semi nice and continue with 'dementor'. It suits him.
I have to tell you how much of an armchair rebel and politician the dementor is. And how I baited him yesterday.
See, I'm really really getting a better ''view' of the dementor and finding out just what irritates him, just what makes him tick. And just how to 'sting' when I can. I'm starting to take great joy in it.
(that's sick isnt it?)
He is the king of his own world, he is the master and he is superman. To him at least. He has called himself superman 3x's in the last week. What does this tell you? Ego much?
Yesterday, at breakfast the TV was on the news and they were talking of this and that going on in the world. I can't remember the exact topic, it wasn't that important to me at the time.
Dementor was listening though.
D: "I tell you..we are giving up our rights one by one...soon we will have none!"
(it dawned on me he used the word 'we'...it was time to do a little baiting myself)
ME: "I take it since you used the word 'we' you are including yourself."
D: (blink blink, looking quite taken aback) "I voice my opinion..I complain when I need to"
ME: "Oh..to the tv sure..from your armchair..sure.."
D: "No..I talk about it to others..!"
(getting a little riled now I might add..I put him on the spot..made him realize how hypocritical he was, that he was just as much a part of the problem and most assuredly not part of the solution)
ME: "Do you get out there and picket, strike or do anything about it?..no ..if you want something done, you can't do it inside these four walls"
D: "I'm only one person and can't do anything!" (he almost whined!)
ME: "That's the sad part, that's the same attitude everyone else has too."
At this point, he rolled his eyes, shood me off with his hand and said in a rather pissed off tone "NEVER MIND!" This was done with a 'look' as if to say I was the idiot and didn't understand. Trust me, I understood perfectly..he was an armchair rebel. The only thing he was ever going to do about any of it was yell at the TV. I looked at him with complete knowledge of this on my face and as sly knowing smile. .....he changed the subject.
I've discovered that he will shoo you off..and change the subject when he thinks he's about ready to be caught between a rock and a hard place. (or he's been found to be the 'bluff' he knows he is) He does this with great relish to make YOU appear the idiot..or the 'dumb' one.
(hahaha..he's finding out, that I'm on to him with it..he's loosing ground)
He'll do the same with an argument. He'll yell back quick and overshadow his apponent with words that mean nothing, changing the subject entirely and usually walk away telling you 'this conversation is over'..ending it on his terms, feeling triumphant in himself..taking away a 'superman' attitude.
The last time we argued..I whispered and walked away. ..it irked him to no end.
(BINGO! I found some poison)
It's amazing really. I've been with the dementor for 5 years (we dated for a year before we got married and we were married in 2007). During that time, I have not made it my 'goal' to 'learn' this man in that way.
I wonder why? I mean seriously, I usually make it a point to 'dig deep' on most people..just so I KNOW when and what to do in times where I need to. With this man..I did not. How odd that is.
Those days are over.
Superman is about to loose his cape.
Now..to figure out what 'baiting fun' I can pull off today!!
