It's probably going to come across like I'm some isolated hermit asshole, but I'm willing to take that risk. My inspiration for this post was because I was reading Dear Abby (took break alone at work and only had newspapers to read). As usual, she was being her holier than thou twat self. Some woman had written because she was upset that her husband constantly bugs her while she's trying to read, no matter what it's about, and Dear Abby had to take the moral high ground that people are more important than books and relationships are more important than your own hobbies, is what I got out of it.
Anywho, it got me to thinking myself as well.
Every morning after work, I usually text my bf and give him the low down of the past night's insanity and going-ons while I eat breakfast or play with my pets and see my parents. Naturally, I do spend time talking with my family and whatnot, but every time my phone vibrates, my mom will sigh or stomp her foot (don't ask about that either, an almost 50 year old woman stomping her feet) that I'm ignoring everyone just for my phone. I drove HERE, stopped HERE, I'm talking with you guys. I do not stop talking or immediately answer every single text. My mom talks with me while also online chatting with people or looking on Facebook, I don't yell at her for that.
And then on the other side of that, you have the bf, who, if you don't answer immediately, thinks I fell asleep or got mad at him or don't want to talk to him. Not all the time, he understands I don't drive and text and that I do run errands also, but if I start a topic and then don't answer for a while, for example. A lot of times on Friday while I'm changing loads of laundry and laying out my air-dry stuff and it takes several minutes, I get these pity text messages "I guess you're busy" or "I guess you feel asleep. Talk to you later bye". RRRR. Am I not allowed to pee or do my laundry?
Or what bugs me is when you rent a movie or whatever, and you're with someone who just wants to kiss or get physical. Call me an ice bitch, but I might actually want to WATCH the movie. It's not just about the cost of the movie, we're not 16 anymore and it's not just put in a movie so we can have sex or make out. We can cuddle and whatnot, but I want to watch this.
My little brother's gf is obsessed with them having their "cuddle time". I mean, she has gone off the damn deep end because my family has scheduled supper or some activity and she isn't able to come over and cuddle with him or spend time with him. Even with his recent health problems and hospital stint, she was being selfish and only thinking of herself, instead of the fact that he NEEDED to rest and stay on the couch by himself, so he didn't rip the bag out of his side that was attached to him.
What is with people who cannot wrap their heads around someone else's free time or what they may want or have to do? Sometimes I just want to throw the phone out the window when I can hear it buzzing away while I'm trying to get ready for work.

but I also at least try to remember that he has a life. And I don't do the PA text messages/emails either.
