I'm always tidy, so there is no need for me to clean. Sometimes the dishes stand in the kitchen for one more day.. But that's it.

You still need to clean stuff like dust though, right? XD It gathers even if you're really tidy.

I get the same procrastinating with work. The scales tip in favour of whether the cleaning or the work seems more horrible at that moment XD Normally all I get is half an hour or less right before bedtime to quickly put a load of washing on, fold up and put away all the dry clothes, tidy up the place where J has gone and moved things from their right places, and do what I can about cleaning up. But then every week or so I need to have a real session with something like dusting, or washing out the bathroom, or so on. And every few months I have to spend a whole day going through a section like a chest of drawers or a storage unit to throw things out and reorganise, because over time things are no longer needed or it makes sense to store them elsewhere.

Yeah, well, I was in the middle of a post here when Ash burst into the apartment, told me to dress up because we're going for that pizza meeting we had scheduled with his friends. And I'm like, okay, let me finish this post, I had no idea it was right after work. He's like, I told you, I tell him he hasn't told me, otherwise I'd remember it and would be ready to go before he even came home. So he shot up XD Anyways, than he told me how much it costs for one person to enter the festival (there's some pizza festival tonight, but the entry's SO expensive), so I told him it's not really worth it for me to go since I will have 3 pizza slices at best. Then he told me I might be the only girl in there (another guy's gf was supposed to be there, FINALLY, we all joke she doesn't exist 'cause nobody has ever seen her so far, and they're together for 5 years or so?), because he's seen them and he saw no gf, but maybe she'll be late, he doesn't know and I'm like.... In my head, I'm calculating: It's too much money to be worth it, it'll be few hours of just sitting and being bored to death, pretending I'm having fun, I'll be all gassy and unwell from that gluten... Nah, you take my card and have fun, I'm staying home.
If he had told me the price and the gf fact before, I wouldn't have even taken the rats back into the cage and wouldn't have put my pants and sweater on and I wouldn't be all stressed out because he wa stelling me "come on, were late". He could've texted me that he's on his way, we're leaving, get dressed. Or something.
So anyways, I told him to have funa nd he's like "I'm not that sure I'll be having fun" ... ... ... Then why da quack are you going there? :qstr: :qstr: :qstr: Have the flippin' fun, hun. :mcmeh: :mcmeh: :mcmeh: And I'm gonna stay home and maybe watch some more pregnancy and postpartum videos :mcargh:

Ohh dear that sounds silly. He really should have mentioned this before. J is the same sometimes. It used to be that he would only mention just before leaving that this girl I hated would be there. Now he has learned, there's no point in even planning anything with her because I won't come, point blank. I'm with you, no point in going out and spending money if it won't be fun :mcdead: Men are stupid sometimes.

Exactly. Tell me all the necessary details first, and don't just go demanding and commanding me like a soldier or something :mcdead: It didn't feel nice. And he told me it's only because we're late and he hates being late.
Well, first of all, that was his own fault, but I won't dwell on that. I didn't even tell him it was and I don't think it's worth it to start a fight about it (because he will take it as me starting a fight, even if I'll be only stating some facts and thoughts I've had while he was gone).
But second of all, how many freaking time one of them were super late? So you'll be late 20 minutes, big deal, you're not going on a date, you said so yourself :mcmeh: You don't have to be mean to me because you didn't tell me to prepare for an outing.

Huh, that pissed me off more than I realized until I began ranting XD
Maybe because of that I'll let some steam of here and won't be all mean and hurt when he comes back.

Oh gosh that thing about being late is so true. One of J's friends, we shall refer to him as O, is constantly late. Like, so many times J has texted me that he has been waiting for an hour on his own with O not showing up to their boy's night out on time. So you know what? If it was me, I would be deliberately letting O wait, every time. He isn't likely to be there when J arrives late anyway. ALSO if your friends are your friends then they won't be upset with you if you are late once in a while.

Probably good idea to let off steam, I am different, I build it up and let it out no matter what, J has to know how annoyed I am xD probably because of that we argue more than we need to.

Yeah, that's more or less how some of them have been showing up sometimes x.x They even began telling one the meeting was one hour earlier, so he would show up on time XD
I don't really understand why he keeps seeing them and is like "well, I might see them once in a while", he came home and said it was pretty boring... And that there's not much they can talk about, and that he enjoys talking to his co workers more than to his old middle/high school friends :qsweat: But that guy's gf showed up after all, Ash described her as "little orc", which made me glad, I can officially feel lik the best chick of the group XD (although I don't really, but I can at least joke like that XP)

I'm pretty sure Ash would break it off if I kept on starting fights like that, because I used to. Just let him know how angry I was about some minor thing (most of the time it was minor), so I had to learn how to let things go. I overreact still XD But I try to control it.
I ended up telling him he should've let me know by a text or facebook that I'm supposed to get ready, and he said something like "yeah, right, okay, sorry". Which for me sounded like "you're right, but I don't really want to say it like that, and I'm apologizing half-heartedly because I don't want a fight, since you're right", so I took it XD

Haha XD I learned to notice the difference between "I'm sorry because I did wrong" and "I'm sorry because I'm in the right but you won't shut up" so I can't let go when it's the second one XD I mean sometimes if it's a minor thing, okay, not worth arguing more about. But when it's something I see as a big problem I tend to carry it on because I want him to understand why he was wrong to stop it from happening again. Not that it happens. I feel like a nag most of the time :mcomg: But when we're not arguing and we might discuss it, he says that he understands I'm trying to get him to be his best self.

I think the only reason we work is because he can put up with that... anyone else would definitely just run a mile because I don't let things drop. I'm better than my parents at least though, they bicker all the time and they never really stop.

Usually I don't hold on to it, even if he says sorry just to make me shut up, because I know he's tired of having the discussion, and I'm equally tired so I just don't care anymore. But I stay mad longer if that happens.
Or I just ask him "are you apoligizing to shut me up?" and he'll say yes, and we just laugh at it XD Most of our fights or quarrels end up in laughter, because we turn everything into jokes. Unless it's super serious, but that almost never happens. The only serious thing we've fought about was kids and the likes.

Your parents sound mean XD

Yeah they are kinda mean lol. I don't know how they seem to thrive on this conflict all the time. I think a lot of the way my symptoms have progressed is because of the stress I used to go through when I lived with them.
And even still when I visit sometimes, like that night over Christmas when I had to walk away and sit on my own to be away from it.

I usually stay mad longer than I feel tired, so I go in circles of anger XD I get a little tired and stop bothering and then I will gain some momentum back and get angry again lol.
