God I missed my beer/ale/hard liquor.

Seems I'm single again, because I refused to work 40+ hours per week, take care of the girls, AND clean the whole house, while she has decided to watch House, and other meaningless crap.

Thank God for beer. Did I mention she's pregnant again? I think it was a ploy to convince me I should put up with her newfound laziness. FUck that, child support is cheaper.

Party at my place, and all the hawt babes are invited! The rest of you can come too, as long as you bring drinks of the adult kind.

Apparently, I'm so not as bitter as you.

Edit: But want to say sorry it didn't work out for you and the Missus. Just don't go all AngryHippo on us.

Me bitter? Naaa....I'm on my way back into the sanity that was daily drunkeness! The world is so much easier to deal with when you're hammered.

Actually, I'm not upset at all, which bothers me...shouldn't I be angrier? I'm actually slightly releived...

I feel that way a lot myself and consider switching from my usual two beers a night to two bottles of scotch a night. Which would also probably help my writing.

So it was your decision?

Not much of a Scotch person...but I've devloped a taste for "The Drink of Death".

Equal parts Goldschlager, Aftershock, Jägermeister, and some other stuff I can't remember anymore... It's a drink a friend of mine made for me and had me buzzing within 10 minutes. What was nice is that my buzz lasted for a few hours.

Did I mention that it was a 10oz glass? Good Shit.

OK, provide the drama as much as the drinking details, please. I need to liven up my Monday morning.

Oddly no. She decided that she couldn't live with me anymore, because I wouldn't work, clean, and take care of the baby. She called it "helping" her. Meanwhile, she hasn't lifted a finger in two months, oh wait, she did was the dishes that she eats off of, because I told her I'm not doing Shit else until after she leaves.

My work is cut out for me. I have to vaccum, dust, sweep the hardwood floors, and wash dishes. Nothing major, shouldn't take more than two hours to do it all.

Here's the rundown of things since FEB:

She's watched more t.v. than I think all of us combined have.
She's done three loads of laundry, and those were only after I told her to do it or get the hell out.
She complained about me not making enough to pay for her school and mine.
Oh, she told me to get another job, so she can go to school.
Did I mention that she hasn't had a taxable paycheck since 2k5?
Hasn't cleaned the house since she moved back in (she moved out briefly before we were to be married, glad that fell through now).

Ok, that brings us up to May. She had to go into the emergency room three times, and we found out why a diet of crappy foods is bad for you: She had to have her galbladder removed. No biggie. Her parents have been watching the youngest one, and doing a decent job of it I'd guess. This is no biggie. A month after the surgery now, and she hasn't gotten off her *** to do anything. She refuses to do the most trivial things, because she's lazy. I have to tell her that I'm not taking her anywhere until she gets a shower, because she sleeps or watches t.v. all freaking day.

I can understand not wanting to ***** up the healing process, but the incisions are healed, and she was almost fully recovered 10 days afterword, according to the doc. Now, she's even more demanding, requiring "spotless" cleaning, another job, paying for her schooling, take more classes myself, and tell my friends that she's not as lazy as they think she is based on what they've seen.

So, c'iest la vie. I think that's all the details...I'm a little fuzzy right now, because I was awake all night the last two nights. By the way, the Griffon is hawtness.

Sounds like depression to me. I suppose it's possible to be that lazy, though.

I think someone that lazy would show signs previously.

Could be, but she hasn't seemed depressed, just lazy. I'll help her if she asks for it, but I'm not going to force the issue.

She did show signs, I just didn't expect it to be this bad. She's always been the kind of person that would only do things if someone said something about it, or told her to do it. She'd find ways to put things off, but then so did I for a while. I usually had to ask her to do things, when I left for work everyday.

I know what it is, she's just young minded, and expects the world to be her oyster, so to speak, like most of us likey did at one point. Problem is, that's not how the world works.

Sure, but the symptoms are, like, way over there.

Your solution is an excellent one. Alcohol, the best situation rectifier! The problem is probably that you didn't beat her enough...or was it too much. There's a very fine line there, easy to cross. Either way- buck up, chum. I'm sure there are plenty of other laydees out there to impregnate and ***** up a relationship with. Best of luck, and I'll tip one back in your honor tonight.

who'm I kiddin'? I'll go have one right now!

Edit: damnit, stikethrough and small tags always **** with me.

I would say, "I'm sorry to hear that," but it sounds like you need a "Congratulations, now you can get into an adult relationship!"

It sounds like she needs help.

Naaa...I'm not the striking type. Not to say that I didn't want to once or twice, but I won't do it. I'm afraid that I'd actually hurt her, and that's just a negative. I'm actually what would be called a "giver". I just gave to much imo.

Though, we have discussed it, and we'll remain friends, and see how things are in a year or two, but she needs to get herself together, and stop relying on other people to do things for her all the time. I didn't date her because I wanted to take care of her.

I knew getting cable was a bad idea...

Thanks. She just needs to mature. It's my fault. I shouldn't have dated someone who was almost 8 years younger than me. She was cute though. She was almost 19 when we started dating, and things were ok, we shared some similar interests, and had fun. One thing led to another, and then she became far to comfortable, and decided that she didn't have to do anything anymore. It's a shame really, she's a good gal, just needs to grow up.

Sure... you don't sound "AT ALL" bitter.

Bleh, sounds like my mom. She used to bark orders at me and my brother while reading a book and eating in bed. Then after we clean the bathroom she'd say, "Can you get me a cup of iced water? Plenty ice please." Oh how I wished then that it wasn't burned into my brain not to tell my mother to kindly fuck off.

Wow, are you going to go for full custody of the kids? Sorry that this situation has totally imploded.

I'm not sure what we're going to do for custody right now. I'm kinda fUcked because of my work/school schedule. I can't quit my job, and I can't quit school either.

A joint arrangement seems best, because she's going back to live with her parents until she gets on her feet, at which point, I told her we could talk. I let her know that she needs to keep a job for six months before I'd consider taking her back.

It's not so bad, really. I'm actually happier now that I know there is some sort of resolution. We may get back together later, or we may not, either way I wish her the best, and will do what I can to help her out, and make sure that our kids have everything they need, and enough of what they want that they can enjoy their childhood.

And no Katie, I'm not bitter, just realistic. I really hope that she figures out what she wants out of life and goes for it. She just needs a little more discipline than she has right now. She'll get there. I just can't wait, and have her attempting to boss me around while she watches t.v.

If you want a good lager, try "Carib" if you can get hold of some, i know it's not hard to beat American beer but Carib even beats belgium beers which is going some.
