Big talk this morning, came downstairs and told her to sit down,she asked if I were going to sit down and I told her no, she said she would stand also, as she is not a child. Starting off great isn't it. I told her how it seems that all this is all on me, and it should be a we problem, she just kept going on and on how I promised that things were going to be OK and there are never OK. She gets upset and points at me, YOU PROMISED!

I tell her that I am taking over the paying of the bills so that she does not have to worry about it anymore. She seemed to agree with that, she questioned my work ethic, so I turned it around and asked what is she doing to contribute to the household income. She gets really angry and asks if I do not think she contributes. Contribute to the proble WE have.

Then she says that I do not want her to get a job because when she is looking for a job I do not help her with it. Don't know where that came from, other than I would work harder at the job she has of getting work (faux painter for houses) maybe start painting furniture for a store, she said there is no money in that. I say that thousands uponn thousands of people have the same money problems, the difference is that most hold hands and attack the situation together.

I tell her that you have to go take a job, not just blindly send out resume's. I told her to get up and get dressed and go down to the business that is hiring.

I tell her that I feel I get no support from her and it seems to be all on me to provide. She says that she moved from her hometown to my hometown and that "I was supportive". I told her that was 15 years ago, and the key phrase is was.

I then told her I was going to work, whew. Lots more there, but that is what I can remember.
