This piece of sh!t laptop I'm typing on has windows 7. I just had a long post typed out and without touching a key, it closed the browser window and deleted my post so that it could do an automatic windows update. Fvck you, windows 7. Every version of windows since XP has been sh!ttier than the last.
I don't know how much weight she gained exactly. It's not like I weigh her. My perception depends on the mod I'm in. Plus, almost all of it goes to G-cup t!ts and ass. The last girl I fvcked besides her had D-cup boobs, and they actually seemed kind of small. Any girl with t!ts like that is going to get a lot of attention from guys. She has some redneck cretin neighbors who have discovered the joy of watching her mow her yard. Last time they invited friends over for the show. I keep my laughter to myself.
Speaking of keeping my laughter to myself, the reason she chose the rental she's in now is that it has a fenced backyard for her dogs. But since she's a woman, she didn't actually go look at the fence, which is apparently full of holes. She has had to chase her dogs across town a half-dozen times. Taking care of those dogs and fixing fences had always been my job. Now that she is going it alone, she has to do everything for herself. I don't openly laugh about it, but I can't deny I get a kick out of her struggles with living alone.
Anyway, about the money issue, to me the real problem is that she is just bad with money. I filed a bankruptcy for her when we got together, getting her out of $40k in credit card debt. She only has one low-limit card now. Her car got repo'd once while we were living together. They tried to take it again months later, so I just paid off the last $700 of the loan for her. She didn't pay rent for the last two years of living with me. I mention these things because each of our respective families seems to think that I am a deadbeat and a financial drain on her. I don't take pleasure in her being broke, but I like seeing that it isn't because of me.
Shopping is another issue. I have about three things I need to be happy; with her it's closer to 103. I always felt that she would spend all of her money on stupid sh!t I didn't want, and then blame me for being broke, or at least resent me for it. She would also tell me she wanted to go out to dinner because she just got paid, but then later in the week would be upset that she was broke. That was part of the issue with me not wanting to go out as much, which made me seem anti-social to her. I would save my money like a miser, because I expected us to have to use it for some financial emergency - like paying off her car before it gets repo'd.
Money, like housework, is the fastest issue to resolve itself after cohabitation ends, simply because there is no one else to blame. That's one of the traps of a close relationship. It's always easy to blame the other half for your own problems.
