Keeping up with the jones

Today I sat outside of Starbucks where two mid-twenty friends caught up.  They both are " keeping up with the jones" type, very very slowly learning that it doesn't matter, but not at a place where they have applied that. There relationship was superficial for the most part. Talking about their new, but not ideal cars they got this year, their husbands jobs, and new career opportunities. One girl asked the other how her and her husband were doing. We get the first "real" ness out of these two friends. She is having BIG marriage issues because her husband only cleans up the garage every few months and it is an absolute embarrassment to the wife when ppl come over. And that he doesn't respect her enough to keep that appearance up for their friends. In writing out her answer now. My perspective of the situation changed. For "jones" type ppl, honestly doesn't come out about about their jone behavior. Because its redicilous! But she did. That's real with this type of personality, it's hard to say things that really bug us when they are stupid like that. I know things really bug me. And that bystanders may have the urge to blog about how redicilous I am about the truth of the things that bug me at Starbucks. I hope that one day I will love my husband enough to not care what others think to let it get in the way of our relationship and I hope this girl sees that light as well as she just said the root of her issues outloud to her friend. Wish the two of you the best! So thankful of my life where no one cares about what the jones are up to!
