Well, the lawn was always his thing, and something he took pride in. When he moved out, he kinda used the lawn to rub it in my face to say how difficult it is without him and how I wanted him to move, I wanted him out, and now look...I have to mow the lawn. So, it's not neccesarily something he thought was "my job", he just wanted me to see how hard it is without him. (In reality, the lawn was the ONLY EXTRA thing I had to pick up since I do EVERYTHING anyway....enough of that). Last night, I said, "I'll mow the lawn before s2's party, but will you edge it, or show me how to use the edger." He said he would. Then, I said, "Are you working on our anniversary?" He said, "yes." To which I replied (stupidly) "It's not really an anniversay to celebrate right now." He asked what I meant, and I said, "well, he haven't been together for most of the past year." He was really mad about that comment, and said, "Why are you always so negative? You can't think that we can go out and celebrate that we're working on things? So what if it's not ON the date, we can go later or before. You're so negative!". I apologized, and told him of course I'd like to celebrate our anniversary, and I told him that we've worked hard to get to 8yrs.
