A bigger slob I’ve never seen

I just had a whole tree branch fall on top of my head. And what could’ve been a whole gang of lizards. All because my bf has to cut the stupid tree at midnight. Sometimes, I sit down and ask myself why I’m still with this man. Because there’s so much for me to hate about him. And there’s so much that he can’t seem to understand about me.

1. He is the biggest slob I’ve ever met. To make matters worse, he’s lazy and procrastinates to no end. I’ll post up a picture of his house one day just to show you that I’m not exaggerating. Case in point, he built a brick wall in his garden to house his compost. That was a week ago. All the utensils are still lying out there, exactly as they were 7 days ago. In fact, the cement scooper thingy, whatever it’s called, has started to rust. Another case in point, he has trash from a month back still lying in the hall, in a bag, yes, but right in the hall. Another case in point, he just cleaned out his steamer today because I had to use it. He had to use an antiseptic spray because it had remains from a couple of months ago. No, I’m not kidding. 
2. He has leave-things-around-syndrome. What is it? For example, he takes off his jeans, he leaves it on the floor where he took it off. He finishes his dinner, he leaves the plates on the table where he ate. He opens up a package, he leaves the empty box on the floor when he’s done. So can you imagine what sort of state the house is it? A perpetual mess. 
3. That would be okay for me, actually, because I don’t mind cleaning up once in a while. But it becomes a pain on the inside of my ass when he’s also afflicted with the deny-I’m-lazy-syndrome. I recently made him clean up HIS room. And I had to endure his sulking for 2 whole days. Like, WTF. He constantly makes excuses which he thinks are reasonable ones to avoid cleaning up. Like what?

•  
  • I’m tired
  • I have better things to do. Play guitar, read guitar forum, play games, surf the Internet…in fact, anything but cleaning up or doing work.
  • Cleaning up is a waste of time
  • Only people who are obsessive about cleanliness, referring to me, feel the need to keep the place clean all the time

If he hadn’t a desperate need to use something, rest assured that he’s not going to clean it up. Actually, he’s gotten so used to living in this condition I suppose he’s become somewhat oblivious to the inches of dust everywhere. 

If you’re a guy reading this and you think I’m another female whining about my bf who doesn’t chip in on the housework, I can swear that I’m not. At least those men realize that they’re being filthy on some level. And I know many other men who don’t mind cleaning up at all. Of course, I admit I’m somewhat of a clean freak myself. But I’ve been able to put up with his tardiness for so long, shouldn’t that show that I’m not as obsessive as he accuses me to be? 

I keep hoping and waiting for something to change. Yes, we’ve discussed this countless times. But I’m losing hope and becoming more and more skeptical. If he’s going to be a slob for the rest of his life, then I cannot spend the rest of mine cleaning up after him. Which I will have to because he’ll be messing up our shared space. 

I need a neutral man’s opinion.

I’m a girl, hear me squeal

   I’m feeling most annoyed right now. Having been terrorized by an ex in the past, I’m most agitated by women who can’t seem to stand up for themselves in their relationships. It started with the search for a diamond ring by a friend and her bf, let’s call her Candy for the obvious bimbotic association. Now, I’m all for diamonds being a girl’s best friend. But when the truth came out that resentment was abound and worsened by the size of the final purchase, rock or no rock, Candy had to speak her mind. Am I right or am I right? 

   Candy had to speak her mind because resentment had been there as far back as I can remember. Why doesn’t he do this, why doesn’t he do that…sounds whiny, but admit it if you’re a woman, we like to compare. And if your guy ain’t deliverin’ the goods (and not just in bed, you pervert), then you should point out the way. But seriously, if after more than 5 years and your guy still barely knows how to show intimacy and affection, then you suck as a guide. Well, that and you should’ve given him the boot years ago. But of course, when there’s love involved, everything gets complicated. So Candy has been boiling her resentment in her lovely pot. 

   Yes, I’m sick of dishing out advice. Especially if you’ll be too self-absorbed to actually listen to anything I say. Or maybe Candy has a bit of my drama queen syndrome…nothing is good unless it’s bad. 

   Anyhoo, diamond really is a girl’s best friend in Candy’s case. She spoke her mind to her guy, he nodded, and went out and splurged on a huge rock for their so-called engagement which is still under wraps because he’s not ‘ready’ for marriage yet. Oops…did I just spill the beans? Does it really matter, though? Because Candy is all happy…yes…she’s Happy Candy because the ring has apparently managed to soak up all the resentment. Then again, maybe the ring really can make up for everything else he can’t or won’t do. 

   And if you’ll allow another minute of bitching, it gets even better. Hands up those of you who have never had a pap smear before. Hands up those of you who are aware of and are afraid of the risks of cervical cancer. If you’ve raised your hands both times and are above 21 and sexually active, you don’t deserve to be shocked if you get diagnosed with something. Seriously. I can’t even begin to describe how bloody pissed off I am when Candy told me: “I don’t want to get a pap smear. It hurts.” *insert whiny tone* Why? Because just a minute ago she was asking my opinion about getting vaccinated against cervical cancer. 

   Taken from http://www.makna.org.my/cervixcancer.asp:

The pap smear test 
… is your protection against cancer of the cervix 
A sexually active woman may develop cancer of the cervix and it is vital to detect and treat the cancer early. A Pap Smear test is an effective way to test for cancerous or potentially cancerous cells. It is a simple, painless test that can detect cancer of the cervix at a very early stage when simple treatment can result in a total cure. 

   Are you seriously telling me you’d rather die than endure barely 5 minutes of discomfort? OMG. The complete and utter silliness of some women I just cannot comprehend. Like, if I could I’d roll my eyes to back of my head and back again. If it’s your first time, I empathize and feel sorry, but it’s NECESSARY. Do you want to risk dying from cancer, stupid woman? I’m almost speechless with incredulity. Just spluttering with disbelief at the stupidity of some women. 

GAH!!!!!
