We had many conversations, but I think at the end men, or at least my husband just lacks brain power in that department. I kind of just learnt to deal with it. There's no use being upset over menial stuff like picking up his socks.
My hubby is a slob!!!!! He goes place to place making little messes. Now, he is not aloud in the living room and has one chair he can use in the family room. One chair in the kitchen and his own bathroom. I try to limit him to only three rooms so now he sleeps in the chair in the family room. It is helping. He is a little upset because the dogs still sleep in the bed with me but, they are not messy.

OMG, I think you read my mind.lol The robot comparison is pretty much hitting it on the head. Mindless robot would be even better lol Except I do get angry about it, I feel like I have to direct him all the time. If he could think of doing something that involved household chores or the kids just one time, I might die of a heart attack!

re I wish my partner would ---- i don't depend on somebody else to meet my needs. that is my job. trying to make others happy has not been a good job for me even when spending huge amounts of money and effort, she was never happy. i got out of the biz in 94. one of the happiest moments of my life was when i discovered during our separation that she was just as miserable in my absence as in my presence. wonderful feeling.

Did you want a house, more time together, kids.....? Have you tried dropping a hint to a brick wall and still did not get it, or did it finally ring the bell and that person took care of you?
My wish for my partner or "soulmate" would be that they are comfortable enough in their own skin to know that only they can make themselves happy and vice versa. I would only expect them to share their life with me through the peaks and valleys of the journey.

  1. ....stay out of my room. That's my little piece of funky heaven, my dog's little piece of funky heaven. When I die, everything anyone will ever need to know about me is in my one room of the house. I don't care how she decorates the other rooms, just leave my little space alone.
  2. ...stop piling things on the workbench. I keep it clean so I have space to work on it when I need to!
  3. ...not always blame my dog for messing in the house. There are two other dogs here, hers, ours and mine. Mine actually has good bathroom habits.
  4. ...not yell at any or all of the dogs if they wake us up to go out at five in the morning. They're trying to do the right thing, don't get mad.
Other than that she's a real peach.
