<strong>Polish</strong> women where a paradox in that sense; I remembered seeing a father<br />

looking after his daughter during the day and Elly saying how sweet he was. I<br />

asked her if that was what she wanted me to be like and she sternly said no, it<br />

was the middle of the day and that he should have been at work. It was funny at<br />

the time but gender roles were used when it suited her. <strong>The</strong>n when it was time<br />

for cooking or cleaning it was time to talk about the rights of women or our<br />

relationship being a partnership.<br />

She had given up worrying about spending my money. As ‘our’ money could be<br />

spent on anything she liked. I had gotten a second card made for her so she<br />

could get essentials when she needed them but soon she was pestering me about<br />

seeing my company accounts. I refused and she accused me of all kinds of<br />

things.<br />

I needed to keep that clean and I had hired an accountant so I wouldn’t get into<br />

any legal trouble. <strong>The</strong> last thing I needed was Elly siphoning off funds to pay<br />

for gifts for her Mum. She kept telling me how generous her Mum had been and<br />

how she needed to pay her back by buying her shit at IKEA.<br />

It’s not generous if you buy her shit too.<br />

It’s even less generous when she won’t get the fuck out of Andrew’s room and<br />

encourages you to do fuck all.
