I am in a very happy, stable relationship. It is the only relationship that I haven't experienced some sort of major loss, heartache, anger or pain. Yes, I miss my boyfriend during the week. But I see him on weekends. Yes, we can't sleep in the same bed when we go on family vacations with his family. Yes, I know we are 30. I dont care that this bothers you or you find this stupid. It bothers me, too, but I kinda like it.
Yes, we've been dating for a while. We've looked at rings. It's coming. Chill the heck out. I don't care that your divorced friend with kids says that its 'way past time' and I sure as heck don't care that your friend, who takes a job only to work the minimum amount of time so she can collect unemployment says its 'past time'. Stop talking about my business to your friends behind my back.
They don't live my life. YOU don't live my life. Stop telling me I need to make a decision and have a serious conversation with him about marriage. You are ruining me. You cause me anger and stress. You harassing and pressuring me about this causes me to have chest pains. Leave it alone. Chill out. It's coming sooner rather than later. You will know before I do because he has to ask you and Dad for permission. So, just shut up about it. Oh yes, sure. Go tattle to Dad about me. What's he going to do, ground me? Yes I freaking hate my apartment. It is tiny, and its dark and I have no outdoor space. This isn't forever. I can't live with him until we are married. Oh well. You don't pay my rent so why does it bother you? Yes, I desperately want a dog. I think it will help my anxiety tremendously. But we want to pick out our first dog TOGETHER. Again. This has nothing to do with you.
Love, me.
