I have been duped. Horribly, horribly lied to. I have been led to believe something for 6 years now and I have found out it isn’t true. And the part that hurts the worst is that it was my wife that misled me all this time. Man, it hurts. She wasn’t even the one to tell, me I found it out on the internet. The Internet, for crying out loud!
I was checking our voter registration on the local county website and there it was, The Big Untruth laid bare.
Name: Marilyn Slusher
Race: W
All these years and I am just now finding out that she is actually White! I am shocked and appalled. Not appalled that she is actually White, good lord, I’m no racist. I’m just appalled at the elaborate machinations that accompany this hoax. It’s so mind boggling, I can’t even go into it.
All those “she is so articulate” comments should have clued me in. I’m such a sucker.
What hurts the most is that she thought I wouldn’t have accepted her if she had been straight up. Over time I could have learned to accept her deficiency. That is what love is about. Sigh, now I will never know if it could have been real. I’m shattered. This is going to take counseling, lots and lots of counseling.
