People from work have been asking where my car is :lol: They see me in the minivan, and they're like "huh" BWAHAHAA I think it suits me. I drive it like I drive my Mustang.
I am still stuffed from lunch.
Tomorrow night, my friends are planning on going to a lounge. I want to hang with them. I'm still not comfortable making plans for me and the J Man without asking him. I can't be sure whether I can assume one of our weekend nights are spent together. Of course he is welcome to go to the lounge with me, too. He was also invited to a party. He brought it up, but that didn't give me an indication of whether he was going or if he wanted me to go with him...
I feel the need to let my friends whether I'm going or not, but before I do that, I need answers to these questions:
1. Do I have plans with the J Man? 2. Does he want to go to his party or join me with my friends? 3. Would he want to stick with our original plan, which was to go to the movies?
In order to answer these questions, that'd require me asking him. I know there are bad times to ask him stuff. When he's got workworkwork on his mind, especially when he is at work, I know then is not the best time. Still, I tried to take a stab at it, and my efforts were fruitless. I put it off as long as possible, but tonight I have other plans, leaving with me a slimmer chance of talking to him.
But how do I get the answers I need when he is not capable of thinking about more than one thing at a time? It's frustrating for me, especially when I am trying to plan. The same thing came up when I was trying to get stuff done for Whistler. I didn't want to make all the decisions without his input, but he wasn't giving any input...which left a lot of last minute scrambling, a misuse of time, and a stressed-out Rosie. If he doesn't mind being dictated what his plans are for a weekend, I'll gladly tell him :lol:
Is it a man-woman brain thing...or a me thing? Why is it so difficult to be on a different plane of thought for some people? Maybe it is a me thing. I remember trying to plan stuff with P when we were on holiday, and her laissez-faire attitude was getting to me, then. :oops:
I want to talk to him about what's the best way to be supportive when it's all about work for him because my frustrations are increasing. Then I start wondering if he's losing interest or if he's just distracted. His work life is having an effect on all aspects of our relationship currently, and I can't say they are good. We won't be seeing much of each other next month since I'll be out of town and then he'll be out of time. For me, it means I'd like to maximize our time together, but he doesn't seem all that concerned.
In the past, when I've felt my needs have been neglected (and me), I end up engaging in destructive behaviour. I don't want to do that because by then, it's too late.
