Debate, and discuss, just dont Bore me.

Growing up, I always knew about Psycho. My mother was so traumatized by it.  I did not see it unti llater in life, but one thing I did know=.  Dont come into the bathroom when my mother was taking a shower!

I eventually did see it and it was a great movie!  More so that it was in black and white and there has been nothing close since then, nor given the reliance on special effects, I suspect there will be any like it in the future.  It is a classic.

I married a woman who was nothing like my mother.  And she hated my mother.  But then many of us did.  What I did not know was she did not love me.  Just a manipulative bitch.  This is not an editorial or an assumption.  It is a fact as she did verify in a moment of honesty (which I am sure she regrets and never will she admit to our children).

But yes, that was past tense.  I wasted many years with that person. 10 years longer than I should have as I tried, and tried and tried.  Before I finally gave up.

After a very nasty divorce (on her part), I started over.  After 4 years, I met and fell in love with a women that is her antithesis.  She is so in your face, and up on me that sometimes it drives me to emotions!  But then always to appologize, as I know she has gotten the best of me.

But one thing she did early and consistantly.  SHe replaced all the shower curtians in the house with clear ones.  At first I did not attach anything to it.  Ok, I like watching her shower, and since I got the Lasik, I dont mind her watching me.  hey!  We can be kinky too!

But today, I made a joke as she was about to shower.  "ok, so you saw Psycho too, eh?"

Yep!  She said that was the reason!  My wife is my mother! (no, but I did marry, finally, one like her!).

Yes, I am here to tell you that no matter how far you run, you men are going to find your mother!

What a revolting predicament!

But I love her so.

Women at some point in their lives have this revelation,  they realize that they have become "their mother"

so if men marry "their mother",  they've actually married the mother of the woman they thought they married!

Perfectly clear?

And make us all laugh doing so.

Well, let's put it this way.  If he is like me today, ok.  If he is like me 30 years ago, he better watch out!

I think it just means for most of us, Mom is the first strong connection we make to another person. Therefore, so much of our perception is filtered through those earliest of experiences with Mom, Mom quality notwithstanding. Mom is a very emotional experience, because it is so early and primal, if you will. Dads connect a little later in life, so perhaps our connection to Dad is less emotional and more rational (in an intellectual sense). So "Mom" showing up later in life as our spouse (or in ourselves) makes sense because the experience of "Mom" is so basic to our foundation, it's influence is usually inescapable. For me, king-sized doses of psychological counseling was needed for me to see the profound effect of my mother on my self. Just my .02...

Um, as long as you don't like watching your mother take a shower...I think you're in the clear!
