Confessions

Maybe you guys smell? Or lack self esteem? Or aren't funny? Or you're ugly?

The first step to improvement is being aware of the problems. Isolate them, target them, and improve.

Or stay single for the rest of your life and complain about it.
 
I had a dream that there was a zombie apocalypse. My second one this month, I cheated on my girl to get a gun.

And I liked it....
 
Planning a Bday trip to NYC with my girl on a shoestring budget. Found a hotel that wasn't a complete **** hole that would not eat up our entire budget. We book it then she actually starts doing some research. Said the reviews are horrible and how she'd start freaking out if it was as bad as they said.... I SNAPPED bros

Im sacrificing so much to make this trip happen and she has been of absolutely no help. I basically told her we ARE going to enjoy this trip. I cannot walk away feeling like I wasted money when I got a million other things I could be paying for.

I don't know y'all. I'm trying to be positive but its hard when the other party is set on seeing the glass half empty..

I'm not saying she's unappreciative. More like uncompromising in this particular situation. It's difficult to go into this trip with the best outlook. I can see the worse case scenario as I've seen how she reacts when she's disappointed/doesn't get her way..

Its a stressful time for me and this trip is just not helping. She did apologize after her rant so I give her that.

I dunno. You might see me in a bar by myself for a couple nights...

Been working a lot of overtime and I'm number 8 in sales for my company in the damn country right now. Pops taught me the sales game when I was young and I hated it. Hated working for him. His business flopped hardbody after he made some bad investments and he lost millions. :x |I :smh: Right before that happened, we fell out while I was working for him and I warned him that he had hired and trusted the wrong people, then I moved back to Cali.

We're good now, but looking back if I had been more focused... like I am now, I think we could've built an empire. :x |I :smh:

Now he's kind of struggling and I'm just getting back on my feet after an almost two year divorce. I knew sales, so I fell back on it and I'm finding that I'm good at it once I stopped fighting it. I feel like I'm turning into my dad in some ways though. All he did was work, long hours. I feel like to have what I want, which is driven by an ultra competitive nature, I may lose touch with some things that I need. I love my daughters, but I'm now a co-parent and my time with them is short. Bugged the **** out of me when I found out they were around another dude on the regular. I'm over it now though.

Anyway. Just venting.

Females can be fickle. But honestly, I can't see any wrong in what she did. I think it's more about you not having patience.

Reviews are horrible, she brought them up, couldn't you at least give it a second thought? Did you have to snap at her for THAT?

I snapped because she has not contributed one bit with the planning but wants to complain and threaten me that she'll throw a temper tantrum. I even told her right before we decided to book it to hold off so we can do a final quick search. She said let's just go ahead because there weren't a lot of rooms left. She was impatient, not me.

I've actually been hunting for weeks so it wasn't like i just picked some random place. Price, location, parking situation, etc. Basically, a stay at a Marriott would have ate our ENTIRE budget. All of it. No activities, parking, cab fare, food... Can't have champagne taste with beer money...

She a grown *** woman acting like a brat. I had to let her know she got me ****** up on this one.

Sorry for venting but I'm still heated after the apologies

Okay, after hearing about it a bit more, I can understand your perspective. Nothing is more annoying than putting in a lot of work and getting complaints about it. I thought she was just pointing out some of the cons, didn't know she was being a brat about it.

Proceed young stunna :pimp:

If you don't mind me asking how long have you guys been together? I planned a trip with my ex and I took care of everything. She then got a haircut and was upset with the result. We went to the club with my cousin and his girlfriend (they live where we went to go visit) and she had the most buzz kill face made all of us feel akward. I told her to just smile and have a good time, after about 30 minutes of her BS I couldn't take it no more and I popped. I broke up with her right there. I felt so disrespected in front of fam

Sorry to hear that man. Its been a year and 3 months. We've known each other a good 4 years prior though. I'll just say we've learned A LOT about each other during our relationship. She has a tendency to complain (SUPER picky about food) and it comes out in her words or body language. There have been a hand full of date nights ruined by her attitude. While extremely frustrating at times, I just chalk it up to her being a woman. She's never done anything to make me question her character or values.

Not going to lie.. I saw this trip as a make or break type deal. I can definitely see her going into one of her fits and me having to get really out of character. But then I'd be a hypocrite. I'm doing this because I love her and I want to have a great experience. I wish we had more money to work with but life threw a couple curve balls. So here we are with less than 1k with over half of that going to hotel and travel expenses.

But I'll give her credit where its due. She's been looking for ways to save money and make the best of it. Wish she was this proactive throughout the process but it is what it is..

This might sound crazy but why don't you leave her then? I was with mine for 2 years. Knew her 2 years prior to that. What makes you stay with her? There are other girls that are nicer and what not? (With all due respect)

Insurance. Can't say what company I work for though.

I had to abort my original plans with an engineering degree due to financial hardships resulting from my divorce. So I'm back to sales.

I have a plan though. Not trying to work for someone for the rest of my life and get a cut of the profit. I have a bigger vision.

She sounds ungrateful and spoiled. Champagne taste with a Kool-Aid budget, huh? I was married to a woman like that. Good luck with it, didn't work out for me though.

She actually had the nerve to get government assistance and use it on Trader Joe's and all these other organic shops. :smh: Chick is something else man. How are you "broke" but not stretching your dollars?

Man, I'm not naive to the point to believe its always going to be peaches and cream. Don't get me wrong. She holds me down and does more than any other female has done for me. This particular situation just happened to come up when I'm currently going through a **** storm of other things. Just needed to vent a little..

I'm not thinking about breaking up with her. And I'm not going to sabotage the trip by expecting the worst. That would be a disservice not only to her but myself and to the money already spent.

I'm good now that she's actually bouncing ideas around. Had she not apologized and stayed on that childish tip then it'd be a different story. But its all good. I'll let y'all know how the trip goes.
 
School, school, school man.

I just finished my Freshman year of college. Did horribly first semester due to foolishly not going to class and being just an overall lazy person. I knew that I couldn't keep living like that, so I went back second semester and actually put in effort. Ended up missing less than 10 classes all together I think, but the issue is that I ended up missing one major test in three of my courses somewhere between those collective ten classes.

The test I missed in math left me crippled with a C+ (If I had taken it, I would've had an A), the final exam I missed in Business Law left me with a D (I was able to make it up, but I spent so long using the study guide for the multiple choice section; I barely scratched the essays), and because I missed the final in Microeconomics left me with an absent from final grade. Being that I was already on academic probation from the first semester of screwing up, I only had 4 classes all together for the second semester. Just imagine my GPA already, based on the three grades I listed. Absolutely horrible.

I planned to come back and take the Microeconomics exam, but it wasn't financially viable and I couldn't get a ride to go back to NY. Realizing that everything was about to crash down on me, I quickly became depressed and full of anxiety. I've been this way since May :smh:

Lost my scholarship. Lost my financial aid. Was supposed to get an appeal letter for my financial aid done by this past Monday, but my mom got into a car accident this past Saturday so these last few days have been hectic. I don't know what I'm going to do, but I need to figure it out fast. I'm smart, and I can do the work. I just need one final chance to turn everything around.
