So it's been a while now, but when I had just left my ex, it was one of the first weekends my ex had our son.

So idk if we saw eachother Sunday or Monday, leaving that in the middle..

So I was going out Saturday and because I was going out, I really made an effort on my nails.. now when I do my nails, I want them perfect and I don't have gel, so something wrong, means starting all over.

I made 5 layers and they need to be all dry before I can put a new layer over so it really takes a while.. all in all.. took me about 3 hours.. I had the time because what does a mom do when there's nothing else to do, right?

So when my ex sees me he goes.. oh NOW you've done your nails.. like I've always asked you to do (he always looked down on my because I wasn't being enough of a "pretty girl", which.. I mean I can be but I rather be a tomboy) , why can you do it now, why couldn't you do it while we were together.. (rant rant you must be seeing someone.. blah blah)

I said I never had the time (seriously if I was on it for more than 10 minutes he was sighing and nagging me and telling me there's more important stuff to do and this is pointless time wasted not to mention the times I had undry nailpolish on my kid because he needed attention and my ex wouldn't pickup either on tasks nor on kid, it just wasn't worth the hassle)

He said it probably doesn't even take that long 🙄

I said "took me 3 hours to get them like this"

He opened his mouth and closed it again.

(The layers:

Base coat

Color coat

Color coat

Glow in the dark coat ❤️

top coat)

Moral of the story:

Don't be with someone who looks down on you because of who you are.

Don't be with someone who is making demands and will not allow you to comply to those demands to then make you feel bad about not complying to those demands. (my ex used to do this all the time. Another example is he told me to do laundry, would run me around all weekend, to friends, family, even stay the night sometimes, the' complain that the laundry isn't done.. like.. was I supposed to do the laundry remotely??)

In fact.. don't be with someone who is making demands at all. A relationship should be a partnership, equals in the decision process, even when you equally decide he's going to make all financial calls and you're making the household calls.
