Things and Whatnot.

It has been awhile since I've posted anything.  Life, what a busy activity.  Two weekends ago was a friend's birthday, last weekend I was in southern Maryland celebrating my little sister's, Catherina, 14th birthday, and today is one of closest friend's birthday.  While in soMD, my boyfriend and I got to watch Guardian of the Galaxy with his parents.  Such a great movie!  I cried twice during it but then again I cry over everything.  My boyfriend's parents had put their house up for sale and now it's under contract.  It sucks and I think they are making a terrible mistake but people learn from their experiences, right?

Besides the birthday celebrations and having to saying goodbye to the La Plata house, life has been trodding along.  I am currently upset with my boyfriend after our conversation this morning.  He expressed something to me that was hypocritical and naturally, I pointed out the inconsistency.  His response was nonchalant and just didn't seem to care.  That is what bothers me the most: he acted like he didn't care and didn't try to see it from my point of view.  I know that the biggest issue in most relationships is communication but I beg the differ, it's the other person not listening to their spouse or significant other.

After his response, it was my cue to walk away.  In the shower, I had prepared this speech that I would explain to him, how he was being hurtful and inconsiderate especially since his actions this past week contradicts his concerns but once I turned the water off, I decided against it.  I was upset and I still am.  Anything I say to him will be out of spite.  I am getting this general consensus from his close friends' girlfriends that there is this power struggle in the relationship and we, the girlfriends, don't feel appreciated.  

I can't speak for any of the other girlfriends but I don't ask for much - spend one evening where we go out to dinner and watch a movie or just do something I want to do.  My boyfriend isn't a bad person, he is a great boyfriend but only when he wants to be.  Most of the time he wants to play a p.c. game while watching a sporting event and wonders why I am influenced by his charms when he climbs into bed.  Next month, we will have been living together for three years and I really want to move into my own place alone.
