How come nobody is focusing on the ENTIRE conversation between K and his W? Yes, she called about her new job but in that same conversation she told K she might need to borrow money.
Every contact his W makes with him (that he shares here) is either to boss him around, get him to change schedules for the children or do something for her. She is just quite masterful at masking her requests/demands with sugar and spice.
K goes on and on about his W has no respect for people that don't have "good jobs" and don't make "good money". Yet it is just fine when the tables are turned and she NEEDS something because at this time her "good job" has not started and she is not yet making "good money".
When she offered K all the broken and battered furniture (then tried to dictate what apartment he should live in since she kicked him out of the house) she sure as hell wasn't worried about his money situation then.
K has patterns but SO DOES HIS W.
She either butters him up by tossing him a few crumbs or she stomps her feet and bitches until she gets her way.
That does not mean things cannot change but right now they are NOT changing. It does not mean you should not focus on some positives but that also doesn't mean you should ignore all the negatives.
