My husband's incomprehensible behavior

If I told him about his personality, I don't think anyone would say they wanted to meet him.

I think people would think that they wanted to avoid him if they could... That's how selfish and annoying he is.

He pays attention to where I park my car, and if I don't close the window lock all the way down, lightning will strike. When I'm shoveling my meal in a hurry, he eats the feast in silence and sarcastically says it looks delicious.

On the other hand, he leaves the door to my room open when he goes out. He pushes aside unnecessary receipts and documents and scatters them on the floor, leaving them there.

He chops off the roses that I've worked so hard on. He uproots the peonies in the garden, the hydrangeas on the grave of the bird's alter ego, and the tomatoes in the flower bed, even though they have fruit on them.

He ignores all my work and the things I want to do. He even throws away the corkscrews from Baccarat wine bottles, saying they're in the way. He has his own theory about that...

The thorns of the roses hurt, and he uprooted the tomatoes because they get in the way of spraying pesticides.

He also doesn't open wine bottles because it's a pain to open them. Unnecessary scraps of paper are just a nuisance. It's your job to dispose of them. You shouldn't take away the work of a full-time housewife... He makes excuses.

A perfect example of selfishness!

If this is Xi Jinping, the ruler of the world, well, cute! You might say that's a small thing, but it's unbearable to have a retired old man target me and play with me every day.

In addition to that,

My teeth, eyes, ears, memory, and perception are all gone, so I can't have a proper conversation. I'm constantly being pushed around by my husband's errands.

What I don't understand is,

I've started saying thank you a lot recently.

Compared to the people of Ukraine, we're in heaven. He expresses gratitude when eating, when turning on the air conditioner, and when going to bed at night.

He recites classic fairy tales with deep understanding and kindness.

He seems to have some empathy, but doesn't seem to notice the misfortunes around him. He has a mysterious personality.

All that life gives back to him is

the ball that you once threw to him.
