The mirror image
The mirror image
My STBXN portrayed himself as such a very different person than who he was in private. He was a classic case of loving the image that he created and saw in the "mirror".
He carefully worked on crafting a portrait of himself as highly intelligent, active, healthy etc. Funny how he checked himself out in the mirror all the time! At home, in the car.
In reality, he couldn't wait to get out of work, go to the bar and then go home and park himself in his recliner and fall asleep in front of the TV. He didn't have any hobbies or interests. All he did was complain about how busy he was, eat what I cooked him, drank and watched TV.
He actually had aspirations of running for political office. State representative! I told him "no way". I knew that he only wanted it for satisfying his N needs. I knew he would never fulfill the responsibilities. He filled a vacant spot on the local school board at one time and never went to meetings.
People that worked with him (he has moved on to another job) now tell me that they wondered what he did all day. He spent more time trying to find someone else to do his work for him than actually getting down to business and doing his own work.
He had a position that afforded him opportunities at times for speaking engagements and had a somewhat high-profile job.
He was very outspoken about his views, expecially politics. I considered him a buffoon. (I never called him that to his face.) He like to say he was direct. I told him that he was just rude. Funny, but he was only "direct" to people that were powerless. Anybody who was his equal or above him - he was a wimp.
Is it typical behavior for these guys to be such mouthy,pompous freaks? I guess it is. Are they all so damn lazy behind closed doors?
2 very distinct personalities for sure.
