Is this the same dude who gave you so much grief about not wanting to be with you? What's the deal with that? What happened....

...I don't like you right now, so STOP talking to me, I DO want to go out for breakfast--I'm willing to pay OKAY! I think I will take a walk, across town to hang out with someone who ISNT ugly right now---THANKS!

Not saying anything bad about him (yet), just trying to look out for a fellow digsgal...

hehe yeahp silly putty, things started looking good there for awhile.. I mean he said we were going to celecbrate it, but our schedules don't clash, I mean when he's off work, I'm at school and then work, then when I'm off, he's at work.. arghhh,but this is how I truly think that he feels, but hey as long as he's taking care of me (bc he is the one who moved me away from my home)then I say whatever happens happend bc I cant change it anyway.. and now I think he just stays with me b/c I'm trying to finish high school and I have nowhere else to go, plus the fact that I just cant afford to get an apartment for myself..

I love you bunches. That said:

-I think you're aware of the aluminum bits all over you when you get home. Maybe you could make an effort to NOT STRIP IN THE LIVING ROOM and get them all over the couch and carpet, hmm?

-Empty boxes, when left alone in the dark of the cabinets, will not produce more cereal/granola bars/oatmeal. Make it to the recycling bin, and they can be taken away to make more boxes.

-...scratch that. Make it to the trash can and I'll be happy.

-That thing written in a foreign language on the fridge with "Nevermind!" written on it in big, black, angry letters? That was our list of chores we agreed to, and my attempt at (failed) passive aggression.

-You don't need to build a fire. It's 60 degrees outside, not -43.

-Look under the sink. The one in the kitchen. See all those bottles? You clean with them. Like...on a regular basis.

-If it's green and fuzzy, it means you ought to consider doing something about it.

-I try not to make a big deal out of being the only one to clean the litter box, I know it makes you gag. But could you maybe not bitch about being the only one to take out the trash? Oh--and double-bag it like I suggested. Because when something gets into it, I have to pick it up anyway before it's strewn around town.

-I'm really sorry that me being on antibiotics is inconvenient for you in bed. I know it's no fun to use condoms. But could you not ask me every single day if the meds are still in my system? I said till the end of the month, and I mean it. A baby would be even more inconvenient.

-Could you maybe get me some flowers sometime? Or just a random card? Or surprise me in some way?

-I know Kitty loves you and you probably had lots of fun today. But don't tell me every little detail of what the two of you played with for the last three hours. I'm all about giving the cat attention, but could you have thrown in some laundry then?

-Same goes for all the Nazis you killed on the computer game. Great, I'm really happy for you. But the underwear overflowing the hamper are still winning the battle.

-I'm sorry we're out of towels/socks/etc. Wait. No I'm not.

-The dishes. Oh, the dishes. Since you don't use your fingers when you eat (all the time), please wash the silverware, too. And when I ask you to do the dishes, let's play a fun game called "scrub the sink when you're done". Just one time. I dare you. Barkeeper's Friend located *ding ding ding* under the sink.

I don't even mind putting them in a cup. Then they're not in the bottom of the sink covered in sludge and 4-day old spaghetti. People tease us when we lust over dishwashers, but really. It might just be the best thing to ever happen to us.

THEN - at T-day dinner yesterday - he says to my sister "Wouldn't it be great if Meggo came to visit you on the 27th?" So now I have nicely explain to her why that probably won't happen while I really just want to throttle him for going behind my back about it.

He also - in our first coversation, was talking about when he needed to be at tday dinner & how he had planned on going tailgating with the guys. I went to tell him that he had to be there and he said "Don't tell me what to do - because I will do the exact opposite."

-Our living room sofa chair IS NOT the closet, coat tree, dresser drawer OR laundry bin.

-Our cat DOES have another end. Try digging for gold nuggets every now and then. The treats you give her all the time do come out eventually.

-Please keep up with your hair...beard and curlies. Mixed with the dust bunnies in your bathroom...It's too much to flush or run down the drain right now...will surely clog!

-Your laundry is washed and folded and ready to take upstairs...last week! Stop picking through it like it's your dresser. (a popular topic I see.) No wonder I'm always putting his stuff away. It sits long enough for me to need the basket for my own clothes, so I end up putting his crap away all the time.

-Deodorant, nail clippers, nose hair scissors (any kind of toiletry/personal hygiene items) DO NOT belong on the kitchen counter or on the coffee table.

-Go to bed at 12:00am on a worknight with a wake up time of 4:30 am...do you actually think you're "getting lucky" tonight?! Quit the pouting and guilt trips!

-There's a trail of clear cigarette wrappers, plastic milk ring, your frozen meal box and cellophane wrapper, toothpick (questionable if used or not), crumbs and a napkin by the toaster, empty butter container & used butter knife on the counter. One step to your left is the sink. One step to your right is the trash receptical. UGGGHHHH. Plus...it's only five steps from the couch to the trash. Please do not leave empty pop cans on the floor or pumpkin seed shells on the armrest.

-Why must you announce when you've done the dishes? Do you want a medal? Are you just so amazed that you've done them too?...that you must blurt it out? You amaze me!

-Actually READ the junk mail you so vehemently defend from me throwing away. After 6 months of sitting around getting dusty (and in no particular order), offers & coupons have expired and I'm not sure what you want to look at or keep.
(I pretty much just throw things away now. He'll never miss them.)

..there's more where that came from, I'm just done for now.

Great thread! I feel for all of you! It's good not to feel alone on this!

Between Wednesday and Sunday, I would estimate your time playing that stupid game at 8 hours...PER DAY.

During all that time, I did the following:

cleaned house
prepared Thanksgiving
read 1/2 book
did 5 loads of (OUR) laundry
cooked several dinners
read 3 magazines cover to cover
brushed a dog and 2 cats
drank about ten cups of tea
sat and stared at you
went shopping
dyed my hair
caught up on phone calls
showered at least 5 times

I could go on, but I won't. Let's just say that I could use that CD for a nice mosaic holiday craft after I SMASH IT TO PIECES.

I try to remember that this, too, shall pass. Yuck.

It started out as Civilization sometime last year. Since then this addiction has reappeared in such various incarnations as Star War$ (game), and some other kill'n'rule the world game--he's big on those.

The one he's playing now is called Neverwinter. And apparently it's his new favorite.

Yes, it shall pass. But what shall it be replaced with next?

ETA: Everque$t...Ah yes, I just googled it. I remember that one. That was a few months ago.

No, not after "just this one game." NOW.

The issue: when you talk to your Dad/Mom/Sisters/etc. (who live far, far away), I'd really appreciate it if you made a point of not allowing them to think that I'm somehow freeloading off you. I've heard you on the phone with them, and you don't seem to mention the fact that I work my ass off and, for the time being, am paying all the bills except whatever meager amount, if any, your family sends each month (which usually doesn't even cover your half of the rent).

Case in point: the other day, your sister actually asked if I had a job. Your stepmother has asked the same thing. I work full time and carry us financially and your family is totally under the impression that I'm living off their handouts and not working? Not cool. SO NOT COOL.

I'm feeling increasingly like a TV sitcom wife to you... nagging you about cleaning, nagging you about money, nagging you about doing your homework, fighting about which friends we hang out with on the weekends, fighting about what to watch on TV. I hate it.

Hmmm. I guess I'm a bit upset today.

"I have to do some maintenance on teh house otherwise it'll blow up."

Is THAT what it takes to get you to do stuff on the house? Cause I'll threaten to blow it up if it would get you to caulk the windows any quicker.
