Opinions

  • The author seems to recall her ex-husband with fondness and humor despite their age difference and the control he liked to exert in their relationship.
  • The author finds the ghost story amusing and worth sharing, suggesting she has an open-minded or at least tolerant view of the paranormal.
  • The Las Vegas story indicates a pattern of the ex-husband dismissing the author's opinions, which she presents as a source of comedy rather than resentment.

This first story is about the new bathing suit I wore on my honeymoon and a very embarrassing situation.

Ex-husband had a ghost in his house — for real — and was okay with it.

My ex was 23 years my senior and loved to take control. This is a humorous story of one of his biggest mess-ups.
