Things i DONT miss about relationships (for Lee &others)

Someone telling me I go to the gym too much.

Someone who sleeps while you're running your first 1/2 marathon.  And then when you finish he doesn't want to stick around because he says everyone stinks and continues to complain about it.

Someone who want you to tailgate at a GA game (sorry GA fans- I like going to the games but don't when I already have race plans ) instead of running in a race that you promised your friends you'd run in LONG before the tail gating plans were ever arranged.

Someone who doesn't understand they when you say you're tired and just want to stay in for the night becuase you are so exhausted from training.

Someone who doesn't understand why you have to sped close to $100 for a pair of running shoes when you can buy some at Wal-Mart MUCH cheaper.

Someone who says they hate to run.

Someone who thinks my legs are too big- umm, it called muscle, and muscle= power= speed!

Someone who doesn't like an active, athletic girl.

someone who doesn't admire or respect my indepence.

I hope I don't sound bitter.  All this just reiterates the fact that I need a tri guy!

I'm in a great relationship now, but it seems I'm still carrying a bit of baggage from my last one:

- feeling like you're walking on eggshells because the tension level is so high
- arguing over who did the damn dishes last
- actually, arguing over any damn thing, because it's not about the thing, it's about the power struggle, and there shouldn't be a damn power struggle in a loving, mutually respecting relationship
- certifiably insane in-laws
- feeling like you need to justify every little thing
- someone cutting down your ambitions and dream to fit in their small world
- having to worry about their whereabouts and fidelity
- having to prop up someone else's fragile ego
- it seems I could go on and on and on...

LOL!!! Who doesn't do this?!

Heh. Yeah, I can play at this game.

• No football watching. Ever.
• Being yelled at for being 4 minutes late to pick her up and take her out for her birthday dinner, only to be followed by being yelled at for not parking in the parking spot she told me to.
• Embarrassing me at a friend's wedding by not going out to the post-rehearsal dinner party after we'd traveled 1,000 miles to see my friends because she was mad at me and wanted to stay in the hotel room. And then ordering a $100 bottle of champagne and putting it on the room.
• Saying she doesn't like me when I drink (odd because I'm a happy drunk) to be followed by buying me a bottle of champagne for Valentine's Day.
• Constant comparison to her ex-fiancee.
• Not being nice enough to my dogs.
• Listening to complaints about money being tight, and trying to act normal after hearing about a $300 purchase on clothes, of which, half would be returned a week later which turned into $150 savings and thereby turned into needing to spend that plus an additional $150.
• Paying for a ski vacation in Feb., a five-star resort for new year's, Tiffany's for x-mas (dumbest. move. ever. and never again) and hearing that I haven't done anything nice for her. (BTW - this is my version of save 'n splurge)
• Did I mention no football watching? Ever?

But what makes it all worthwhile is that I'm completely over her and she can't say the same. So in my best Nelson voice: Haaaa Haaaaaa!

That's my parents  :( 

My list: 

• Being insecure coz GF have an advanced degree, and got upset when people asked GF to explain something related to her field. 
• Got mad when GF didn't understand his conversation subject which was related to HIS field. 
• Claimmed that GF should allow him to let out his frustration (pulling a long face, not responding to calls, etc) after a "hard day's work" coz GF should be understanding....
• ....and that GF should be considerate as to not bringing frustration home and let it upon him when GF had a bad day as it's giving him emotional burden
• Believe that a GF/wife should be "traditional" as to clean the house, do laundry, make dinner etc., while maintaining a career to help out financially, as a morden woman.
• Went to "consult" another woman when having problem with relationship

What is wrong with this???? Just kidding.

That says it all right there!  Why must I be sleeping with all of my friends that are girls!  jealousy is a trait that I do not deal well with!
