What do you do if you buy a toaster and it sparks and burns you? You return it.
What do you do if you buy a car and it's a lemon? You waste no time in rushing back to the dealer and return it.
What do you do if you buy a washing machine and it's broken? You have it repaired. If it can't be repaired, you return it.
What do you do if your tv has a fuzzy picture and no sound? If it's under warranty, you return it, or you simply throw it out.
Each of these things are damaged goods. You don't cry and mourn and spend your last dollar to fix them. You don't question what you did to break them and scream why did this happen to me, what could I have done differently?
What do you do if your husband cheats on you and breaks your heart? My answer today is return him. He's damaged goods and I'm done with wondering why. He's the broken washing machine in my life. I'm not going to question if I overloaded him or did too many loads. I'm not going to ask myself if I should have used less detergent. He's a lemon, he's broke, his spin cycle is beyond repair. He's just taking up space, no use to me, no purpose to serve.
Today, I return him. I throw him out with the other damaged goods. In a year or two (or four or five), I might decide that I need a new washing machine and get an updated, better model. Or I might decide that a washing machine isn't for me and that's fine too.
One of these days, in the far future, you'll get tired of doing your laundry by hand. ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha! The shower head and I are getting to know one another. ;) Maybe one day I'll graduate to a small appliance that can fit into a bedside table. At least that won't cheat on me.
ReplyDeleteSo I have a broken washing machine and thought this post would help. Well it did help just not with my washing machine. I guess when your spouse stops going through the spin cycle, maybe it's time to get that refund. Personally, I would try to fix it first.
