Not dangerous? The man fell off a cruise ship! He had to be talked off a cliff! He over drinks regularly, and is a jealous maniac. How many red flags do we need?
Wilbur is angling for his own comic strip, “Always Wilbur.”
Mary didn’t sigh, she said, “Sigh.” All her scheming to get Wilbur and Estelle back together is seemingly going awry. Right now she’s trying to contact him telepathically to bring his fish out for a walk. To Mary, Wilbur’s not dangerous, just endearingly quirky, as long as someone else is the target. She’s dealt with Aldo Kelrast and Ted Miller (what a character!), and she triumphed!
Sure he's not dangerous. Drinks to excess in public. Gropes women against their will. Threatens small animals in other people's homes. Does public displays of agression when he sees an ex with a date. Fakes own death for sympathy. Dumps a girlfriend who is much too good for him remotely because he's hot for anything else hotter. Gets a pet and dumps it immediately. Stalks exes. Goes to weddings where everyone holds their breath hoping he doesn't make an expected scene. Yeah, he's not dangerous at all. What the hell is wrong with you Estelle? At your age you shouldn't be so picky.
Didn't Wilbur once get smashed on that purple liquor and go for a drive? That is indeed dangerous behavior.
I wonder why Mary is so dismissive of Wilbur's awful habits? Men who stalk women become dangerous all the time. Even without physical violence, stalking is a form of psychological abuse.

It’s National Gaslighting Day, Santa Royale Edition. Mary gaslights Estelle who then double gaslights Mary (wildly swinging from threatening restraining orders to wistful regret that it didn’t work out), while sounding like she means it so pulling off a self-gaslighting at the same time). It’s a MasterClass in fractured logic and Groundhog Day plotting at every turn. Turns out you can make this stuff up and apparently get paid to do so. Sheesh.
Don't be shy! I'd love to hear what you have to say about Mary Worth. Just keep it clean, that's all I ask. This is a FAMILY FRIENDLY blog. I don't want to moderate comments, but I will if I have to.

"to bring his fish out for a walk" made me literally laugh out loud! Good one, as usual!

ReplyDeleteI think a great story arc would be a Wilbur Intervention.
ReplyDeleteMary's sorry it didn't work out. Stell's sorry, too. That's a lot of sorrow over a dodged bullet.
ReplyDeleteThere sitting on the grass ?how are they gonna get up and what happen to the blah blah bench ?
ReplyDeleteJust being Wil-bore? An aspiring Ted Bundy.

IMHO Estelle's problem is not Wilbur, it's Mary. If she drops Mary from her life everything else will fall into place. There I said it.

ReplyDeleteMary has dementia. Period. There's no other explanation.
