1. The government

2. Profs who don't post slides

3. My boss

4. My dad

Why doesn't ice stay cold if the other ice is cooling it down?

It's the chemicals, the government are putting a chemical called "fluorine" in it to make it more drinkable, yeah right anyone with a brain knows it's to melt the ice.

Blue lives do matter but they can also hide behind their badge and get away with nasty things because of their authority.

Black people can not hide their skin color and are targeted because of that power dynamic.

Onto the next matter of business, this pandemic has everyone in a tizzy and you’re on furlough. Your unemployment is more than what I make as an essential healthcare employee. THAT pisses me off. 

What’s more, the govt is giving US Americans $1200 if they fit most criteria and make under $75000 a year, which is both of us. You still don’t have a separate bank account but I have a couple of my own separate and away from you. 

I refuse to let you take over my credit union’s account. My grandfather made that account for me back when I was a toddler and I have special perks non-police and non-firefighter members don’t get. My grandfather was a war veteran and a Philadelphia police officer in the mid 1900′s. It’s my account and I’m primary. And you haven’t asked me to do any of that and I’m grateful.

You didn’t jump for the opportunity to get your own account. I like that we’re trying to work as a team, and hopefully I can trust you to put my full money into the account again. 

However, when your dad wanted a photo of a voided check so he could deposit your tax return for you and your stimulus check, I knew he’d call them and find out who’s on the account because he’s a nosy cunt. And lo and behold, he did. And now he won’t do that for you because it’s shared between us still. Your dad thinks we’re not together still, but I don’t believe your parents are that dumb, truthfully. I think they’re just waiting for you to admit it so they can go off. 

However, man does this just push me to keep planning for the future. I still have my own room I rent too, and I really want to get a mortgage and take over that house when my landlord goes back to CA. I love that area that the house is in, and it’s a secure neighborhood, and there are GREAT schools near it that I’d love our children to go to one day. 

But this is another reason your parents aren’t going to see our children besides family functions I APPROVE. Your parents are toxic and I refuse to let me children go through the abuse that your dad gives. And for your mom to stand to the side and not do anything, that’s just as bad. 

Just starting to collect the memories as we go because I’ve just about had it. Every single thing that your parents do just keep pushing me to collect the data and memories for them for future reference of why I’m not going to allow them to see our children or get to have the same perks as my parents will. 

My mom and dad constantly help us financially and don’t guilt trip either of us and let us handle our relationship as it comes. Your parents decide they want to treat you like you’re 15 again when in reality you’re 28. 

Your dad just took out a mortgage claiming he’d cosign you. That morphed into him doing it in his name and telling you that you can’t date me, after almost 3 years together. Don’t know what I even did, considering we’d see them when we had the time and I’m the reason they even got to talk to you as much as they did. You’re the one that doesn’t answer their calls or texts and purposely ignores them. And I know why. 

This time, dad decided to offer to drop your check into the bank account for you. Your dad doesn’t realize we still have it together, and your parents still think we split up and remained split. You’re too scared to tell them because your dad has already done some drastic things to you while dating me, and that included you being stranded in another state, unable to get a charger and unable to come home because he took you off their cellphone plan. This was after a year of us dating. You were opening some stores in NJ, now our home state, and you didn’t pick up his calls because you were stressed out and your dad tends to yell and he is codependent. He takes it out on you and your brother. 

You got back to the hotel no problem, but we had to finagle plans to try and get you back to PA, 2 hours away, in the dark, with no data. Thankfully, we preloaded your GPS from the hotel and you were able to get to me and I took you onto my own phone plan. Your dad would’ve left you stranded in a different state with no where to go. You also were stuck waiting for your company to pay you at the time and we were living off of my paycheck only. As far as I was concerned at that point in time, your dad is not someone I like. Your mom is powerless to stop him in almost all cases. 

Your twin is now stuck in their home, having had to move from his nice apartment after school ended with a great job due to depression and being institutionalized. Your parents just converted their finished basement into a wine cellar to keep your brother there. You both are 28. Your brother is working at a grocery store because of his depression and now that your parents got him back under their grasp now they had to take you too and offer a mortgage for you, then turn around and do this. 

Your dad pushed you to pay the payments ahead of time because he has no liquid assets and we’re in the middle of a pandemic. I had to lend you 1/3 of the rent you owed and I honestly only gave it to you to keep him from coming to NJ to harass you, and so he’d think you’re more mature and responsible regardless, even when you’re not and you couldn’t make rent because you were busy buying shit for your video games. You still owe me at least 2/3 of what I gave you back, btw. 

anyway, here I am showcasing all the reasons why when we get married they’re not going to get the perks and benefits my parents will. My parents are letting me make my own choices and know I went after you to fix our relationship after it fell apart and you cheated. I neglected you, and you got catfished by a dude. We both fucked up and I’m glad we’re doing what we need to to make things right because I love you and I do want to stand by your side. I’ve seen your growth and our relationships. You’re becoming more mature and I’m glad. I can’t wait to see what our future holds. 

I am attracted to men.

I am attracted women.

I am in a seemingly straight, monogamous relationship.
