h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

As part of the preparation for out anti-nuptials, I have
cut off Uvula from conjugality.
She takes this as a rejection.
What was I supposed to take the events of the last ten months as?
She has cajoled, wheedled, threatened and begged.
No soap.

Last night on the way home from a Mexican restaurant that she and Shnooks took me to to celebrate Father's day, she, Uvula, in front of the child, joking said she might have to tie me down and take what she was entitled to.

I did not find this remotely funny.

Later, after she dropped me off and cajoled a bit more, she called me in tears and said that I must still love her, as the last fifteen years had to mean something.

I said she should have thought about that ten months ago, when she left the house and me, and left me wondering if I was going to be able to keep the house or even remain in the state.

I have been through a lot in the last ten months. I am a different person than I was then, both physically and mentally. She hasn't changed a bit. But she really likes the new me and wants stay married, although separated, and wants to keep up conjugal relations.
I told her no.
If she has no use for me other than physically, then I am not a husband, but a F*** buddy.
Plus, she's upset about the Willendorf Rabbit.
She saw her from the parking lot at where the Rabbit works last night. All she could say is,"She looks fat."
Shnooks went in to get something so that she could check her out.
I haven't had a report from her yet.

The Willendorf Rabbit and I are back to hugging. And she continues to bump into and brush against me and rub her hand on my back. I do my best to behave. I mean, after all, she is beautiful, intelligent, caring and... she hasn't run up any debts that I'm associated with...

Sounds like Uvula wants her cake and to eat it too. In your place, I would do the same as you. Nice to be recognised for your growth, though, isn't it? I know that I wouldn't have chosen to grow through the difficult things which have happened to me over the past 10 years, but I wouldn't turn the clock back.

I am happy she said she noticed positive changes in you TR.
Too bad there was not more of that sooner.
Not to diminsih the positive changes but Some of those might have been there all along.... knowing the little bits you've told.

I do know that I was very angry for a number of years because she was so disconnected from the day to day around her. I'm not any longer.
I was also very frustrated that I couldn't depend upon her for any mental or spiritual support for the problems I was having.

I told her, I don't threaten, I do.
Shnooks and I got tired of her always crying wolf.
Well, I am the wolf.

'I couldn't depend upon her for any mental or spiritual support for the problems I was having' - mmm - that's a drain isn't it? Partnerships are supposed to be about give and take, not just take.



Anyway - I thought you were a ?

Yeah what a drain!
You must be backed up with things you had to stuff too!

Marriage is being able to depend on your parnter for various supports and sharing! What else is there besides sharing ?
Too bad ,she must have missed that day in kindergarden when sharing was discussed.

Good Luck with the lawyer and all the icky details.

Anyway - I thought you were a ?

Well, actualdly, it was more of a

You mean you get eaten?

not as often as I'd like....

Oh my!
