Conquest of the Planet of the Bride of the Son of the Return of the Open Bar

[Anna Mae Bollocks]

Plant is on fire and sinking into the swamp.  We don't even have a swamp.  Fired another drunk-ass employee.  Boss has locked himself in his office and won't come out.  I have memorized three Russian phrases loaded with obscenity, and I scream them into my phone when anyone calls me.

This is truly the best of all possible worlds.

I love Russian swearing, though I'm no good at it.

I particularly want to master the correct pronunciation of "perhot' podzalupnaya" ("pee hole dandruff").

It's amazing what getting female visitors can do to a teenage kid's self-confidence. Even when they end up in bed together, or maybe especially, because they told me how happy they were I didn't try to join them like all the sleazy guys do. Just drinking and smoking cigarettes and walking around ànd talking about various stuff. These are the sorts of moments I live for. Says drunk Lenin

OH NOES, 30 MINUTE ARGUMENT! RUN AWAY FROM YOUR ILL SIGNIFICANT OTHER.

Brought to you by the same jerkoffs who leave their severely, possibly terminally disease ridden SO's to rot alone.

BOO HOO HOO, I DONT LIKE SICK PEOPLE, WHY MEEEE?

people like that should be launched directly into the sun.

There's nothing that drives me quite to the level of rage like people who make promises and don't follow through on them. It is one of the few ways that your dignity cannot be taken away, by the force of  a human being saying something aloud AND MAKING IT HAPPEN.

Its at the heart of what humans are, I feel.

SO, if you SAY "In sickness and in health" and youre too much of a fucking coward to follow though just go fucking set yourself on fire.

I knew a woman who nearly died about 10 years ago. Her husband at the time had issues from his father's death. He completely ignored her for the 2 years she was practically on her deathbed. Would not bring her food, would not spend time with her. Just...went to work, came home, engaged in everyday life activities and interests LIKE HIS WIFE WASNT SICK.

FUCK THAT GUY.

You need NOT act in any particular way. Remember, your partner entered into a 50-50 relationship willingly. As such, she needs to meet her commitments to you: financial, emotional, sexual, etc. Don't be afraid to express your anger with her behaviour if it angers you. Don't be afraid to demand that she keep her commitments Don't be afraid to express yourself in the ways you need to. If you don't you will only become an enabler.

Hmmm, I'm of mixed feelings on the whole "stand by your man" principle.

If staying together will lead to a healthier situation, stay. If leaving will lead to a healthier situation, go.

Easier to say than to do.

I didn't read the comments because I really don't need any more exposure to human cruelty and stupidity today, but I will say that while mental illness can be an explanation for emotional and psychological abuse, it isn't an excuse. Telling someone that they have an obligation to stay with someone who is abusive for any reason, including depression, is fucked up.

Yep. For both people, not just the one who is ill.

And how fast you should decide, in my opinion, depends a lot on how long you've been in the relationship. Wife goes wacky on you after 21 years? Give it a few to see if you can work through it. Wife starts treating you like shit after a year? BAIL.

Yup. Seems right to me.

Escaped ticket by looking like the walking dead.

I don't know that there's any such thing as 50-50. Sometimes it's 60-40. Sometimes it's 10-90. Depends what's going on and hopefully in the long run, it all works out to something kinda-sorta like 50-50. I wouldn't MAKE anybody stay either, or guilt them into it, but I'm not sure why people even bother getting married if they don't mean all that vow stuff, and at least give it their absolute best before they bail or start yammering about "50-50". It can kind of pricey to get out of, for one thing. For another, it's not a job position, it's a marriage, FFS. Next thing they'll be writing each other up.

Can we get the story when it's all over, or is this one of those things where forum posts could end up in a court of law?
