Incompatibility
Some of you are probably sick of hearing about all the fights I've been having with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
the_star_fish, but at least you won't have to hear about them any more. This morning when she woke me up (because she insists that I sleep and wake according to *her* schedule), I just had enough and couldn't take it anymore.
I don't know why I thought this time would be different. We have nothing in common, which I should have been able to guess from the fact that she has no sense of humor, and never laughs at any of my jokes. I'm not sure she's ever even tried to make a joke. She takes things so damn seriously that she got offended if I suggested sitting around the house in pajamas before bedtime.
Is it too much to ask to be able to live my own life a little? I mean, I know we were dating and all, but does she have to invite herself along to everything I do? It'd be nice if once a month or so, I just got to go hang out with my friends without hearing her complain that if I loved her I'd be taking her out instead. And I'm really sick of being dragged to knitting circles and other events I don't care about simply because "that's what boyfriends are supposed to do."
Also, I know I'm not known for my health and culinary variety, but compared to her I'm Emeril Lagasse. I mean, I'm all for the modern woman's place not being in the kitchen, and I'm happy to do my fair share of cooking, but she should be able to make *something* aside from boxed mac and cheese. Every time it's her turn to cook, it's either food from a box, or take-out.
Which brings me to my other point: She goes through money like it's water, and I'm starting to think she dated me just for my money. She's never content just sitting at home and playing a board game, and insists on going out somewhere fancy nearly every night. All I ask is that maybe once a week we stay in and try a board game, but apparently that's "too nerdy" and she just wants to put on lots of makeup and go out on the town.
Well, enough of that. She's leaving for Boston tomorrow on a previously planned trip, and when she gets back, we'll be taking some time off. So it goes.
