so pass the shotgun

ever since i made a huge deal out of the cell phone and how rude it is to always answer it when we're out, he's been pretty good about keeping it on silent. tonight, however, he was gone "to the bathroom" so long that i knew he was making call/s. ick.

can't WIN. i mean, on the one hand i know i should not be so totally psychotic that i actually care how he spends his bathroom time. on the other, how irritating is that!! he's in the bathroom, making phone calls, because he can't live without his stupid fucking landline.

... and i am not the exact opposite. i am sick and tired of all this bullshit, esp the XPD girl, so, um, i read his text messages. i congratulate me, because it takes nothing short of a sawed-off shotgun in his face to get him to let go of it.)

i am aware he hides stuff from me. i am aware that 99 percent of his friends are female. i am aware that he is incurably flirtatious, and that he flirts in person and via text message with XPD girl. i know this from intuition and i know it more because i stole his phone tonight and really, if your somewhat-significant other behaved the way mine does about his phone and his girls, you'd go through those TMs that he guards with his life, too. yeah, you would. or else you'd be smarter than me and dump him like yesterday's trash.

but as my mom points out, we're not even a couple. so we can't be dumping each other.

good point. i could NOT be this man's girlfriend, because even as we are, just somewhat-significant others (to the rest of the world, "JUST FRIENDS"), i do not take his word at face value.

and ... on we trudge.
