When your partner lets you down in a trivial way, it can be frustrating. The other evening, after stepping away from my work, my partner Alex and I settled into bed. We began sharing amusing anecdotes about our day, filled with stories of our kids, Maya, Liam, and Zoe. I was subtly trying to coax a foot massage from him by gently nudging his leg with my toes. My feet were still aching from hours in heels, and I was in dire need of relief. Alex, however, seemed oblivious to my hints. Eventually, I resorted to pleading. “Could you please just give me a little foot rub? Pretty please, Alex?”
With a dismissive tone, he replied, “I’m not rubbing your feet.”
“Why not?” I whined. “You think my feet are adorable. They really hurt! Just this once?”
“They used to be cute,” he admitted. “Back when they were… um… painted.”
“Just picture them in red,” I shot back.
“They were definitely cuter,” he continued awkwardly, “but just… um… older now.”
“What do you mean?” I shot him a look that made it clear he had crossed a line. “You’re saying my feet look old?”
“Well,” he stammered, “you’re, like, thirteen years older than when we started dating. Naturally, they look older. Do you think your mother’s feet are cute? As you age, your feet inevitably lose that youthful charm. It’s just a fact of life, you know?”
No, Alex, I do not know that.
He could have pointed out any number of things—my feet could use some moisturizing lotion, or they might be a bit dry—but old? OLD??? For the record, they are none of those things. They could certainly use a nice rub, but they are perfectly fine and merely thirty-one years young.
At that moment, I imagined how I could make him pay for such comments.
The End.
