'Serenity'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I think things will get better when we are both moved in and, hopefully, things settle down a bit.Prepping for a move is stressful. I am sure things will be much better after you get settled into your new place together. Not that it makes it any easier right now.
Oh, and you can make friends with the neighbors and have them stage a curse filled fight loudly whenever someone is looking at the place!
You're all very kind.Cause you guys are all adorable.
It's nice to see you looking so totally happy. And doooooooooomed.
I forgot to comment on the Wallybee pics! You two are the cutest couple I have seen in a long time. I think you're doomed.
Wallybee pics! Not only adorable and doomed, but you look very comfortable together. Nice.
sj - I'm sorry this is so stressful. Moving is stressful in the best of situations. What they said about getting through this with communication. Wishing you and TCG all the best.
I also will have at least twenty-four hours notice to make the place look less appealing. Sort of like Designed to Sell in reverse.
ETA: Not that I would do that or anything.
I have a friend who -- hand to god -- did this in college. He had rented the same apartment, in a 2-family house, for a couple of years, and then the landlord decided to sell the house. My friend didn't want to move, so he put signs up around the apartment pointing out the problems. Like, "Note the crack in the wall -- this means foundation problems!"
I think as long as the place doesn't sell, and Teacup Guy agrees that based on what she paid for it there is little chance it will, we should be safe for staying there. She needs the rent money badly. The only other problem would be if she raises the rent.

If she needs the rent money badly, I would think this is unlikely -- she won't want to risk a month without rent, or having to pay the agency again.
{{{Dave and sj}}} Dave's understandably upset and he's talking it through with you. Which, personally, I think is better than if he clammed up and seethed silently. That would drive you CRAZY, no? My best advice is to nod a lot and say, "I know, honey" every once in a while. Or maybe just kiss him on the forehead and say, "It'll be okay, as long as we go through it together."
But... I'm not in a relationship so listening to me could be hazardous. Filled with hazard!
Sick of work and tomorrow will be u-g-l-y. I don't wanna go back there. Someone kill me now (but bring me back to life for the F2F though).
Great. Now I've earwormed myself with Evanescence. Crap.

Thank you so much for saying that. It makes me feel better.
