Fascinating woman. An outrageous flirt, though not the sexual incontinent she is usually portrayed as. Little known though is that she fell in love with a fellow American, Herman Rogers, while in China; a man who was, alas, married, and for whom she pined for the rest of her life. After marrying Edward (David to the family) Herman’s wife later died and he remarried a mutual friend. She came to loathe Edward, and treated him abominably, a constant refrain of his being ‘Am I to go to bed in tears again tonight?’
On his death bed she didn’t visit him, despite being at the other end of the corridor of their flat. A young nurse — like her, from Baltimore — held him in his final moments. As the nurse later told Wallis’s biographer, Andrew Morton: ‘Right city, wrong woman.’
Wallis was eventually buried beside him at Frogmore. As Morton says in the closing paragraphs of his book:
‘There was, though, a bitter irony in her send-off. For in this final act of damnation she found herself lying next to a man she barely tolerated, in the private cemetery of a family she loathed, covered by the earth of a country she hated.‘
@harumichiis exactly. even at the height of the “thick” craze in 2017-2018, you couldn’t just be fat - you had to have a flat stomach and a shapely fat ass to be praised for it, otherwise you’re treated like nothing. she’s acting like people had torches outside her house for being thin
Tolerating always turns to resentment. At first, you call it patience, then love. But what it really is, is self-abandonment. Every time you swallow a boundary, excuse a pattern or silence your discomfort, something inside you keeps score. Likes And eventually, the bill comes due.
Kad se pitate zašto profesori nisu reagovali, setih se jednom sam mlada i naivna pozvala roditelje da im ukažem na prikrivenu agresivnost njihovo sina. Sve optužbe pale su na moje kompetencije da to procenim. Par godina kasnije dobio je kriminalni dosije, još uvek maloletan.
@MetapolitikerX I don’t think you understand that this behaviour is exactly what leads to the slave life later.
Spending your 20s cosplaying freedom instead of building leverage is how you end up with no assets, no optionality and no way out.
