{{vw}} Relationships are hard. An emotional roller coaster no matter how long you have been at it.

We have bunches of issues that we battle regularly. We come from different generations, different upbringings, different attitudes about so many things. The money issue never mattered to me. It has always just been one pot. But there are so many other things that we struggle with continuously.

A little space is often a good thing. This may be more the case since Brendon and I work together. Right now he has gone off to watch a basketball game and a GF is coming over to drink wine and watch The Tick with me. (she has never seen it) We call it downtime. A necessity.

{{vw}} What everyone else said. A little space can be a good thing sometimes, and money is one of those problems that affects even the strongest and healthiest couples. Get a good night's rest, okay?

The kind of weird thing is I totally called this. This morning, actually. I told my mom that I thought he was having issues with this, but that he wasn't talking to me about them. I think that's what has me most upset. We've had two conversations (one with my therapist and one after I watched a situation with a friend) where I said, "Don't stick around if you can't, and don't coddle me because you think I can't take it." And that's exactly what he did.

Oh, well.

So apparently two houses on our street have been robbed in the past two days. I'm more than a little freaked out.

aw crap, vw. I hope that this is just a thing that he has to do. It's all very intense and I'm sure he just needs to work some stuff out.

Eek Kristin! I bet neither of those houses have a big scary guard dog. Still, lock the back door, 'kay?

Kristin, that is scary.
