Guess what! People don’t change!
No, seriously they don’t. Stop kidding yourself. We’re all kinda staring at
you with pained smiles right now.
Save yourself the pain and accept the fact that you can’t change them. It is
much better to just accept them for what they are than deal with the
heartbreak of finding out that you have been lying to yourself about their
behavior. That is the jaded voice of experience there. It took me years to
learn that the hard way, and I still have to mentally beat myself every so
often when I find that I am doing it again.
So, for those of you that may not get the analogy the weasel represents the
behavior in your partner that you can’t stand. You try to polymorph it into
a chicken. Guess what, it is still a weasel. You polymorph the chicken into
a horse, it is still a freaking weasel.
Now basic behaviors like leaving soda cans around can be changed, but the
weasel behaviors don’t leave. Personally I hate smoking. I abhor it. My
weasel epiphany came from my ex who smoked.
Now my ex loved smoking. I think he smoked anything he could get his hands
on. He told me he I was important enough to quit for (poof! A chicken wow!),
well he didn’t (still a darned chicken shaped weasel). He told me he would
quit pot and cigarettes. He got sneakier and fooled me for a few months
(what a pretty horsey shaped weasel-chicken).
He was a lying scum-bag. Really the lying scum-bag part is the weasel. If
the person you are with is disrespectful, deceitful, or abusive just walk
away. They won’t change. They are weasels, and no matter how many times you
pretend that they change shape they never do. Please don’t lie to yourself
like I did. That pretty white stallion was all in my head because at the
heart of it, he was still a lying weasel.
