My most serious relationship was in high school (I was 17). I'm 46 now.
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I had an empanada and some cheese and crackers. I've got enough spinach for one more salad.
Ironic thing is, with my parents here and eating out and wine nights? I think I ate less than I normally do. And what I normally eat is pretty spare for my activity level. Weird.
Mister Kitty just tried to eat a USB plug. Also weird.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
And this is the nasty party of relationships:
Someone please confirm that I'm not a total bitch for wanting to strangle my husband right now. I *get* that he's nervous and scared about tomorrow, but there is no fucking need to take it out on me. I do not need to be snapped at, talked down to, and huffed at.
Single isn't looking so bad right now.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I had small bowl of linguini with meat sauce and a glass of red wine. They both hit the spot.
ETA: I'm sorry your DH is taking his worries about tomorrow out on you, Maria. And I hope that tomorrow's procedure goes as well as possible.

No, you're not a total bitch, Maria. You're nervous and scared yourself.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You are definitely not a total bitch. Just because you are going through this hard time together doesn't mean you are not both still human.

Oh Maria. Ack.
The Hyperbole and a Half was not funny, but there is one part of it that made me do a dark chuckle while shaking my head: when the figure went from the end of the couch to the corner of the room. So evocative and painful and dead on.

I can't believe how much emotion she gets out of what look like scribbles.

Nope, you both are riding a nasty monster right now. Basically, both of you are running out of spoons; he just ran out first and (lucky him?) is trying to use your last one (lucky you?)
After my mom spent an hour thinking dad had fallen off a cliff at Machu Picchu, when he came down helping to carry the litter of the guy who did, she totally bawled him out. For not being dead and having the temerity to die but not be dead. She ran out of spoons, she was trying to steal his cause he had them.
