Well, he’s been using silent and proxy hoovers, so I guess this is more of that. But a little less subtle.
Before he took up with OW2 he was circling in toward home for a few months. He was posting poems on FB, which he later confirmed were for my benefit. He posted a poem about Odysseus on his way home to his wife and child, and the pull he felt between obsession and responsibility.
Yesterday he sent S an article about a piece of art on a sunken ship. The title was about Odysseus chaining himself to the mast of the ship so he wouldn’t give in to the siren’s calls (he gave his crews beeswax).
Obviously this was one of his hidden messages. I’m sure S thinks it’s about a shipwreck. I just think he thinks he’s Odysseus, facing all these temptations on his way home from war. Amusing I guess, but nutty.
