PROMPT #171
We have a dialogue prompt this week …. with a twist.

What is the twist?
You need to take it forward from the perspective of the opposite gender, not yours.
You may use the dialogue as a theme, beginning or end. Your piece can be fiction, poetry, an anecdote, historical fiction, biographical sketch, an essay on perspectives, or anything you can think of, with your fingers on the keyboard.

I watched as she glowed in the limelight of success. It was me who stood behind her while she pursued her dreams. Dreams of becoming the CEO of her company.
I provided support, financial and moral when she needed it. It was not a solo effort but always a joint one. And now that she was being hailed as one of the ten most influential women in the country, she was jubilant.
And me…
I was standing in the shadows, looking at her. Neglected and relegated to anonymity. It was always me but now she has forgotten all about my role in her success.
Now it’s all about her….

You’re right! The family or spouses need to be acknowledged too.
Thanks 😊

The classic ‘man behind the successful woman’ story… I’m sure there are many real life equivalents to this.

Yes, I’m sure. I had to write from a man’s perspective, but the situation is reversed most of the times.

Hopefully it was just a momentary lapse, and she’ll remember she couldn’t have done it without her support person/system🤞🤗🥰💕

Hopefully! It’s more common the other way around. But fame and fortune does make a person selfish.
