Disclaimer to women: the following post is about men. it's about the things men do that really urk us and the things they fail to do that also urk us. it does by no means suggest that we do not love our male counterparts nor does it suggest that we are not greatful for the things they DO do for us.
Disclaimer for men: sorry, but it's pretty true... maybe it will help you to realize what really pisses us off.. we still love you. but... sometimes, we just need a little more...
Last night, after leaving work, I set out for home with the radio, and the heat, blasting. I was listening to christmas music as it's the only thing that comes in during the inital part of my drive home since I broke my car antenna shoveling the snow off the top last year. I asked boyfriend to help but.... i forget why he didn't... so instead, i broke the antenna, and proceeded to get the ever popular response "well what the hell did you do that for"... um... hence why i asked for help... but i digress. so i'm driving home and i happen to get a phone call from a friend of mine. we begin talking about, what else, men. and the conversation goes something like this...
why is it that when we ask boyfriend(s) to do something, they say "yeah sure" and then when we get home, it's exactly where we left it and it isn't until we start doing it that they realize they were gonna do it?
why is it that after i work a full day, which started with dishes or laundry before even going to work, when i ask boyfriend(s) to do something, they can't because they "worked all day"... really? and i did what? becuase last time i checked, when the paycheck comes in, it has my name on it. and it buys the groceries that feed you through the meals that i cook...
why is it that when i do something, and then ask for boyfriend(s) to finish it, they can't beause they are "watching tv" or "going for a run/to the gym". somehow, i am capable of watching tv, folding laundry and doing loads of laundry simultaneously. i am equally capable of putting a load of laundry in and doing dishes while i wait for it to finish.
i know it's the holiday season and i should be all warm and fuzzy with the one i love but maybe it's because it's the holiday season that i feel like boyfriend could step it up a notch... i do love him, please hear that loud and clear... and yes, i do voice these frustrations directly too him... i don't just blog about it... but i know i'm not the only one...
what is it that gets you?
