New Suxs Thread

Ugh instead of a productive day of job apps and seller photos the last 18 hours have been spent in a hair-pulling state of having to be the "Adult" as my hoarder of a Smother finallly allows me into her Room of Stuff...

Oh gods - it's even worse than I thought it was, there were several suitcases worth of old children's clothes piled up that she's either keeping for sentimental reasons or "to give to my niece" (Which knowing Smother and the kid's shallow mum is never going to happen... Not even taking into account that said mother/daughter pair live on the other side of the globe...)

Ugh there has been some progress - but the sheer amount of stuff that just went straight back into the room...

And of course I'm trying to lead by example, and am actively making myself throw out stuff of mine that I really would like to keep in an ideal world just to show I'm not a f*cking hypocrite. It's hard. She's so happy to sling my stuff - but dare to mention throwing any of her cr*p (and yes most of it really is utter sh*t - it shouldn't feel like a victory that you've convinced someone to throw out food that's 10 years out of date...) and it's temper tantrums worthy of a toddler. We have cupboards full of VHS tapes, we don't have a VHS player. The tantrum thrown because "We recorded this stuff!" was truly epic. And when I say recorded, I don't mean with a camera - I mean old TV shows - most of which we have DVD boxsets of.

Bizarrely the thing that finally triggered her willingness to enter The Room and try to sort it was my promise that I'd sell some of my uni-era stuff (That she'd dumped in there unbeknownst to me... no wonder I couldn't find it in my box/bedroom where the majority of my things reside...) though of course that was the one thing that didn't emerge from The Room - so god knows - it'll probably turn up crushed/flattened like all of my posters did the other day (ugh another story of Smother moving my things without my knowledge - forgetting where she'd put them - and then crushing them underneath other things - the entire damned lot had to be dumped but that's the difficulty when your room is the Box room - and it is the most literal use of that term ever - since as well as an awful lot of pre-uni stuff that I'd sincerely love to be rid of there is 4 years of uni stuff piled in here too making most things innaccessible - because I daren't take up much more of the house given what tends to happen to anything outside of my room)

Ugh and to top it all off it's been an absolutely miserable day - with only about half an hours worth of photograph-worthy sunlight. So v.few seller photos were acheived, if any. I've only just had time to sit down and have a look

So I've probably complained about this before but we have a leak in our ceiling. It showed up last August and after many complaints they finally looked at it and said that they couldn't fix it until it was warm (this was about a month and a half ago). Well, now it's warm and it still hasn't been fixed. It's the flashing around an AC unit in the attic of our building.

This evening I got home from work (about twenty minutes ago) and went to make myself a sandwich for lunch tomorrow. When I went in there I stepped in water. I honestly figured the cat bowl had toppled but then I looked down and there was a two foot wide water puddle. I looked up and the water spigot in case of fire was leaking. Great. I cleaned it up and put a bowl under it while my roommate called maintenance.

She's been on the phone for about ten minutes venting to the maintenance guy who has done everything he could for us. He can't come tonight but he promised to come at like 7 tomorrow morning (roommate has work at 10 but I have to be at work by 7 so we had to go with her schedule). He's tried to advocate for us but our management team is a joke. They tell us to fill out a report every time we complain and when we say we have they have no idea what to say or do.

We have a few months left of our lease. We got stuck here because we couldn't find another place to live. It sucks, so much.

Minor sux, but a sux nonetheless. Doll Chateau's website doesn't seem to be working on my computer. Anyone else having this problem or is it just me? *Sighs*

Well, Windows XP is unsupported as of Monday, and now there's the Heartbleed security hole on top of everything.

arg arg arg. I better bless the greenhouse soon, or the weather better not turn cold because something got loose in the structure and dumped two planters of lettuce seedlings on the grounds.

That should be illegal. My Walmart carries Sixlets all year - check in the regular bag candy section.

Oh my gosh, its taking every bit of self control I have right now to not explode into a fit of rage. So my wife is sitting down watching her Korean Dramas on netflix and I'm on the computer listening to music. So she gets up and says that she is going to bed since i don't want to spend time with her. I tell her that isn't true, just that I don't want to see those shows. So she gets mad, I tell her just to go to bed and she makes a big fuss whether or not I'm going to bed soon. I tell her Ill go when I am ready. That is not good enough, so she rips the surge protector from the will with a rather large smile on her face. Now the computer is dead and i know she is satisfied that she got some form of retribution for not paying attention to her. This is where things get really bad. I don't give in to her manipulation. I grabbed my iPod, tell her to go to bed and continue listening to music. So now, she is a pissed bitch. She goes to our room, and throws my Iplehouse Luna on the ground, breaking her fingers and part of her thigh Joints.
It takes every bit of strength not to lash out. I am so mad right now, but at the same time i feel like I want to cry in desperation. Ive gone through so much with my wife, trying to convince her how much i love her, how much she means to me, but she wont believe it. I write her poems, I clean the house for her, cook for her, provide for her, try to listen to everything that bothers her, I want to just be the best father and husband i can. But the truth is, I cant. She will always have such a low opinion of herself, that she will project her feelings on to others; thinking we feel the same way about her as she feels about herself. This is sickness, and I am tired of all the hurt. I have never hurt her or ruined her things, yet this is the retribution I receive.
I know its a strange hobby, I know its weird to buy dolls and want them to look beautiful. Especially being a guy. It isn't something people understand. I don't have a strong support base in my family. My father belittles my hobby and my wife hates that I enjoy something that doesn't involve her. My mom is gone, not that she would be much consolation. Goddamn, maybe I should just give up the hobby.
It hurts because I want to find something to love. I want to find someone who wont squat on what I hold dear.
