Thanks- I needed that. I try to be more loving. Quite frankly lately it's been hard. He does nice stuff yes. Then he does crappy stuff- and a lot of it. It's hard to focus on the good, when there is so much crappy stuff.
Like he was cleaning out the 2nd garage when I got home from work on Sat. His stuff was all nice and neat- my stuff was all piled high in the corners. I asked where the box of glass platters and bowls was- he said there wasn't one. I replied nicely that yes there was and it was in the box that was right here (and pointed). He replied that it was there somewhere. Then I asked where my box was that had my bulletin boards in it. He said he'd look for it. I replied that that wasn't the point. He said Sox, what can I help you find. I replied again that that wasn't the point and I no longer wanted anything and then I walked away. He followed me and asked what I wanted him to find- I replied Nothing- I wanted to be able to get what I needed when I needed it without having to move 50 other thingst to get it- and he had made that impossible. He said he'd help me find it. I replied that he still didn't get it.
We've gone through this for 10 years. We've gone through this 3 times in the past 3 months. He took my stuff that was neatly organized and put it in such a way that I can no longer get to anything, let alone find anything. He has my stuff stacked 8 feet high (I'm 5'2"). The point is (and I've told him this) he had no consideration for my things or the way in which I had them organized. And in doing so, he made my life more difficult.
There really is no positive atmosphere.
