HER HUSBAND DID HER WRONG
Well after a few good months, LAFORD and I split up. Yes it was the Easter Sunday debacle that sent me over the edge. He was rude, telling me to shut up, witholding physical affection, and being a general ASSHOLE. No good night kiss, no words of kindness. Just rolled over with his back to me. Plus the fact that he was the cheapest mutha I've ever had the pleasure of dating. I mean, when your idea of going out to eat is Morrie's Drive In, well. Of course, I was no box of chocolates. But I was finding myself making all the sacrifices, like not drinking at home alone so as not to get all surly and mean on the phone with him. Gifts were out of the question....Valentine's Day passed without even so much as a bouquet of flowers. Now, I spent money on a Zippo lighter, gave him some prints that I was thinking of selling; I honestly don't remember getting so much as a thank you. Speaking of no thank yous, Mom had us over for a lovely dinner. In decent families Thank You notes are an imperitive, and Merrily duly noted his lack of tact. But when one is raised in the swamps of Louisiana, what can you expect? Now how a writer can date a non reader is beyond me, but I was under the distinct impression that he was dyslexic. Or just lazy. And his TV viewing was simply GHASTLY. Mainly all he wanted to do was channel surf. ANNOYING. The one thing about the relationship was we both have HIV, which makes things that much easier. But of course, I was out with it, but he's not. I did change a few letters around so as not to expose him by name. He won't read this anyway, now will he.
What sucks is that I really cared about the clown, but I hate rudeness, and CHEAP makes me sick. Especially when one brings home a slew of cash UNDER THE TABLE, because he doesn't want the government to tax him or lose his precious government HIV benefits. I wouldn't make a big deal out of it, but he could easily donate a few smackers to our ailing AIDS organization, just by way of giving back to the community. Not to mention the fact that he'd not ever heard of one of the most famous music venues in the world, THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL. Can you imagine if I'd brought up La Scala?!
So FUCK YOU LAFORD. Maybe you should find some little twink that you can abuse. They generally don't know any better.

I'll kill him. Don't think I won't.
(Also: I'm very sorry to hear this, but you are damned funny when you write about it.)
