Glasses

[indigo_rose99]

Yesterday I got new reading glasses with new frames. My eye doctor promised me these would be stronger! And I can actually tell a difference when reading small print. It is lovely.

However, T is failing in his role as significant-other-who-notices-things (yes, I'm wearing the new frames 100% of the time when not asleep). My last 4 or 5 sets of frames have all been pretty similar. I could hardly tell them apart. But these? These look TOTALLY DIFFERENT. And T hasn't noticed. I'm trying to decide if this means he doesn't actually look at me.... or he always sees me as I was when we first met 20+ years ago. Hmmm...

I've had people who said they never look *at* the glasses because they are looking at *me* (my eyes) and deliberately looking past anything else. So it could be he has trained himself not to see your glasses when making eye contact.

Ugh, I never notice stuff like that. I don't even notice if you cut your hair a foot shorter. I generally notice that something is different when men shave off their beards and mustaches, but I often don't know what is different.

I think I would notice if you become bald or grew a third eye. Or if your glasses had a sparkly fringe hanging off the entire undersides, acting kind of like a veil.

So I'm hoping you will just decide that his role as significant-other-who-notices-things is not an important role at all!
