I've gotten complaints that my blog isn't updated. They were from the two people who actually read this blog on a regular basis. When 100% of your audience is complaining, then it's about time you do something about it!!
Ok, I've been extremely busy at work. And I have this thing about using my laptop on weekends. I believe that a person needs to be disconnected from the wired world once in a while to keep his sanity. Of course, I think this while I'm replying to a text message from my boss, who is in another country. Well, can't really be fully disconnected. ;)
In short, I'm sorry for dissapointing my audience. Both of you! :P
I really need more people to read this.
Anyway, back to the real topic. Taking what's yours...
What the heck am I talking about?
Well, it's easy. I have stopped expecting people to actually make an effort to make me happy. Actually I'm just referring to LOML...
I have all these normal, unchallenging expectations of her, which she just doesn't give a rat's ass about. My feelings get hurt, I tell her, she tells me that it's not important.... over and over again...
So why bother, right? So now, when I want something to make me happy, I just TAKE IT. I no longer care what her feelings are about the situation.
Example, she complains when I go out with my friends. She says I'm ignoring her... blah blah blah... read the first few posts if you don't remember.
But whenever my friends want to go out, I'll ask her to go with me, to which her reply would be, NO... now at this point, I can go out without her, and go through all the drama, or I can just stay at home with her. I usually do the latter, because I don't want to deal with all the crap later.
So I've changed my gameplan. I no longer ask her if she wants to go... I tell her that she is going. I don't care if she doesn't know my friends... She better get to know them. Because if she doesn't have a good time, then not my problem!!
I like this new plan. Makes me seem like the insensitve asshole in the relationship. But she's had that title for a couple of years already. It's my turn!!!
I'm taking charge of this relationship. And if she doesn't like it, then she can leave.
Not to say that I don't pamper her... I still do. I still make an effort to be loving and caring and romantic... I still try to make her happy. But I also make sure that I'm happy as well.
