So it's 2:25 where I am, and boyfriend and I have been upset with one another all day. And it's so stupid! He has no reason to be mad at me anymore. He was originally upset because we just moved out here, he just got a job and house, and I've been here for 5-6 months without finding a job yet. We're having money problems. Not huge ones, mind you, we just pay the bills and don't have much left over. Except I'm an incredibly stingy person (we could say thrifty, but let's be real. I got my grandmother's great-depression genes). I don't like to go out, spend money, I prefer to buy store brands and I grocery shop right out of the sales flyers. While on the other hand, he would rather have a good "quality of life". I'm sorry but whether you buy name brand macaroni and cheese has nothing to do with your quality of life! You asked for a giant television for your birthday, have all the fanciest gadgets, bought yourself a pocketknife that cost over $100 without even mentioning it to me, not to mention that I wanted to quit smoking when we moved into our house. Each of those little containers costs $52, and we go through one every two days. And then here's me. I haven't bought myself clothes in 7 months. Last time I did it was a $5 dress from Goodwill. I've had the same (manual) toothbrush for way too long because I couldn't justify buying a new one while my old one still works. The results of which are that you have a fancy electric toothbrush, brand new, and I'm still using the manual toothbrush I had to take from someone's house because I couldn't afford one almost two years ago. And yet, when we left the store after buying the toothbrush, $40, and a $60 trash can you actually got snippy with ME for being upset. And you only got upset that you spent that much on the trash can when you got mad at me and slammed something on top of it, breaking the lid. Which means that we spent almost a hundred dollars on something that the dog has zero trouble eating from, and no one will take it back because you broke it.
I know this sounds insane and I am not coherent right now. He really is a wonderful person, he just has these logical fallacies that he can't see! I just get so frustrated when he does all this nonsensical anti-productive stuff and then gets mad at me like I'm the reason we don't have any money!
I know I am taking too long to get a job, but seriously? Me being at home costs us nothing, why don't we focus first on the things that are LOSING us money?
