Ok, here goes... Hello, earth to Mr. Cat??? It's FOUR THIRTY in the MORNING! While I *know* you've just had an exam, and haven't been able to *perpetually* play your online game for the last week because you (OMG!) had to study, so did I, and I ALSO haven't slept in the past 36 hours and am DAMED TIRED! Then, I get up to ask you to not talk so loudly to your friends, you snip at me, then continue at the fucking top of your voice for the next two hours! At 6:30 am, he comes to bed, then wonders why I don't want to be tickled awake. We've talked about it later, and he DOES NOT UNDERSTAND what the problem is! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

cat, mine did that recently. He borrowed the "Deadwood" dvd series from Blockbuster and watched them. Fine. Then he fell asleep about an hour into the two hour dvd, and decided to watch the rest when I was trying to sleep at 2:30 am; I had to get up for work at 7 and 8 AM. He thought I was being the selfish and mean one by telling him to shut off the tv. IP: Logged |

I know you were ranting and not necessarily asking for suggestions, but friends of ours had serious tv noise problems - they lived in a loft - and investing in good quality wireless earphones ended some very major arguments for them. Might that help? Alternatively, there's mute with subtitles, but that might not be such an attractive compromise. Inconsiderate noise that keeps you awake is crappy. I'm so sorry.

I know you're not feeling good. However, I rearranged my whole schedule based on YOUR homework assignment, which you need help with. You'd think that would mean you would at least be grateful enough to get out of bed and take some cold medicine. I do it every time I have some RESPONSIBILITY and don't feel good. Stop being such a whimp and suck it up! Not to mention, you've been putting this off till the last minute. Again. Goodness, I'm harsh. But, unfortunately, you need the ass-kicking sometimes. And I'm just lame enough to cave in to babysitting you. Can you tell I'm a Cancer? Yeah, caretaker of the world. But I still love you, really. (that felt really good to say, but I'm bummed that I had to bump this thread!) IP: Logged |

A, I am thrilled that you're moving to my town to live near me. I am glad to be able to help you move. But try to keep track of your own freakin moving schedule. MY friends volunteered to help you move, at least make sure you know what date they were free. And NO I cannot move your giant a$$ tv, couch, loveseat, desk, and mattress up a flight of stairs. Sorry if I'm a wuss, but I have arthritis, my hands can only hold so much weight. Just because you thought my friends were helping you move the big stuff on friday instead of sunday does not mean that you and I can do it all friday anyway. Also...I'm giving up going to a friend's bachelorette party saturday to help you get your freakin aquariums up here sunday, the least you can do is tell me what time we'll be getting back up here so my friends can know what time to get here. I love you, you're an amazing guy but if you don't start planning this move out better, you are going to have one very grumpy girlfriend. -Me IP: Logged |

Getting angry at me because your perception of my mother is warped, is not something you should do to me! Taking what she says out of context and interpreting her strictness with children as her being "a witch" and "evil" is going to seriously piss me off. It gets worse if you get angry and interrupt me when I try to defend my mother. Just because you didn't have a good relationship growing up with your mother doesn't mean you have to trash mine! F**ktard! IP: Logged |

This isn't a thing I hate, but I was very disappointed. I told you something very private going on with my family last night. These kinds of things... they're hard for my family to share with others, even another family member. I really would have appreciated more understanding and sympathy for our current situation, not just a "Well, how much money did you say you'd give?". We have plenty of money, she doesn't. Deal.

Sweetie, we sat down and made a very detailed budget. We both agreed to it, it is very clear. Stop buying things that aren't in the budget. You can't spend $50 on something you want to do and say we'll just cut it from somewhere else. Those things can't be cut anymore. If you spend extra money, it has to come out of your part of it, not the joint part. This isn't rocket science. This isn't even hard math. This is part of basic grown-up life. Get used to it!

last weekend - I was in a wedding & part of the gift to us was an army hat. Groom is in the reserves - left for Bosnia two days later. I was so excited about this hat - I rarely get a cool hat & everytime I do - Hubby steals it, wears it to work, gets it filthy & stinky & I lose a hat. On several occasions, I've actually bought two so that I can have one to myself? Nope. This hat- I said repeatedly that this was MY hat. That I'd be willing to get him one - but this one was mine all mine. He scoffed but said fine, he had plenty of hats as it was (seriously - he could wear a different one every day of the week) Last night - we meet friends for drinks and I look over. He.is.wearing.my.hat. I snatched it off his head, reminded him it was MY hat and asked if he'd worn it to work at all this week. (he leaves before I get up). So - because of this - he was in a completely pissy mood the rest of the evening. He later told me that taking my hat back was childish - but of course, his wearing it out of the house is completely fine. We're supposed to go boating this weekend & I just really don't want to wait for his pissy mood to return, and told him so. Apparently, in his mind - this is all me. I'm the one in the mood, I'm the one who overreacted to the hat, and by saying I'd think about going boating - that "proved" I was the one in the pissy mood. Aurgh. IP: Logged |

Dear Boy, I'm proud of how responsible you have become, it is very admirable. I am right by your side through all the changes you have recently faced in your life. You've worked every possible shift since I met you, and I'm pretty sure I haven't complained about only being able to see you at 2:00 am, or having to drive out of my way just so we can spend a little tiny bit of time together in the afternoon. I am your alarm clock. And hopefully one of your best friends. I have to move out of state, but things are going to be ok, we can make this work. Just please don't make my heart ache anymore than it has to. It won't be easy for either of us, but I need you to be by my side as things change in my life. You're not supposed to make me cry. Catimini P.S. I understand that you have a horrible cold right now, and that is why you are out of sorts...but it's hard to be around you when you are acting like this, I'm putting up with you because I love you.

Hub has no concept of time. We are supposed to be meeting business colleagues in London at 1 pm. It takes us 2 hours to get there, and it is now 11.40 (you do the maths). Before he left, I said, "We have to leave at 11 am at the latest, okay?" -- and he's like, "Sure, no problem, I'll be 15 minutes"... and now1 hour and 15 minutes later... grrrr) IP: Logged |

ARRGH. I know what you mean SeaJay. We are now half an hour late for a party I told him I did not want to be late for... he called me half an hour ago and said "I'm leaving in five minutes" . He only lives 5 minutes away. So where the HELL is he??? And why must he make me late when I told him that if he didn't want to go or if he was going to be late I would go alone???? IP: Logged |

Sleep is serious. When I'm in bed, blanket tucked up to my chin, and reaching for the light: that is not a good time to suddenly steal my pillow or say, in a childish sing-song voice, "Tell me a story!" You are not a child, you get up 10 minutes later than I do so you need to go to sleep, too, so knock it off already. I realise I'm not a party person, and that going to bed at 10 o'clock every night is sad for someone my age. I. Don't. Care. I like my sleep, I want to go to bed early, and besides, the cats are still going to wake me up at 6 am regardless of when I went to bed the night before. You know I'm a light sleeper, and that I don't sleep well without you. Just this once on the weekend, could you please come to bed before 3 am? Yes, our roommates are slobs. That's one of the many, MANY reasons I've been wanting to move out for two years. So, when our roommates leave dirty dishes and stuff in the sinks, and I tell you to just "leave it alone" and not clean up after them, because that just reinforces their messiness, could you just LEAVE IT ALONE?!? And especially don't grump about being the one to clean it up. I told you to leave it. Leave it, dammit. Don't be all martyr-y about shovelling. You could just leave the micrometre of snow on the ground and get someone else to shovel. If you bundle up and stalk off in a huff to go shovel, I'm not going to be sympathetic when you come back inside. This also applies to raking. Just this once, let someone else do it. Yes, you're the only one who cleans the litterboxes. That might be because you do it when no one else is home, while the rest of us are at work, because you get home before us. If you asked -- and didn't sulk -- we might do it for you. Don't chase the cat when he throws up. He isn't doing it to piss you off. I can throw up on command, however, so I might give it a try, JUST to piss you off. (Years of migraines may yet have their uses.) And, for the record, you're heavy. When you rest all of your weight on me during sex, I can't breathe. At all. There, I said it. IP: Logged |

I'm swamped at work today, and tired. I take a break, and call you to see what's up. You're taking a nap. You haven't had a job for six months. Wake up and keep looking. Oh, and f*ck you. ETA - Yeah, I sound harsh, but he probably spends more time watching t.v. than he does searching job boards online (which is the extent of his job searching). Damn, I deserve better than this.

Dear SO - I hate when you sound all disinterested and busy on the phone. Hate it. I called because you've been gone for 2 days and I missed you, but if you don't wanna talk then say you don't wanna/can't really talk, don't make me feel like an ass. I don't miss you now, and I hope you can't sleep in your hotel bed. IP: Logged |

I came over at 7AM so you could work on my car and we can have a nice vacation tomorrow. Then, I made you a spectacular ommlette with sharp cheddar cheese, green onions, chili, sour cream, and lots of avocado as a favor, since you're working on my car. Then I go out to tell you your breakfast is ready and YOURE NOT THERE. I'm assuming you're rescuing your friend from some "emergency" that he got himself in because you like to hang out with dumbasses. You could have at least had the courtesy to tell me that you were leaving. If this keeps us from going on the backpacking trip I've been looking forward to, I'm going to be livid. By the way, your breakfast was really good. I didn't want it to get cold, ya know. IP: Logged |
