Two weeks in the past, this 26-year-old lady obtained a tiny, easy tattoo of a cat on the again of her neck. When she wears her hair down, nobody can see the tattoo. The tattoo is significant, and she or he obtained it in honor of her little sister, who tragically died not way back.
“Her favorite animal was a cat since she was little. Her nickname has also always been ‘Catty.’ It’s a shortened version of her name,” she mentioned.
She has been courting her boyfriend for 3 years, and earlier than getting the tattoo, she defined her concept to him, including that the tattoo was in honor of her sister.
“He laughed. I asked him what was so funny. He just said, ‘Nothing,’ and continued laughing as he left the room,” she defined.
His response baffled her, particularly since she already had eight different tattoos and had been going to the identical tattoo artist for six years. On the day of her tattoo appointment, she instructed her boyfriend she was leaving and left the home to get her tattoo.
After arriving home, her boyfriend needed to see how the tattoo turned out, and she or he confirmed him what it appeared like. Her boyfriend sneered and acted negatively. She brushed it apart and moved on.
“Over the next two hours or so, he began complaining that it was a ‘stupid’ idea, that it was ‘ugly,’ and he didn’t like it. He asked how I could expect him to still like me and be attracted to me when I am no longer ‘appealing,’” she shared.
The visceral phrases from her boyfriend shocked her, and whereas she knew deep down that she didn’t misread what he mentioned, a part of her wished that she had. She repeated why she obtained her tattoo, however her boyfriend callously mentioned, “‘She’s dead anyway. It’s not like she’s going to see it and appreciate it.’”
Since she had no concept what extra she may say to get her boyfriend to empathize, she left the home and took a 20-minute walk earlier than returning home. In hindsight, she didn’t know if this was the healthiest means of dealing with the state of affairs, however after her walk, she reprimanded her boyfriend for what he mentioned.
