Eddie and his girlfriend are annoying
by V.E. on July 6th, 2008
I have to write about this because, if I don’t, I’ll explode and make things worse.
I have been told that Eddie’s girlfriend dislikes me. She seems nice enough to me, though she talks to me less than she once did. I’m okay with that, but apparently it’s a big point of contention between Eddie and her that I “still” live here with him.
I don’t want to live here anymore. She comes over, but has never told me anything to my face about how she feels about me. Eddie won’t throw me out, so I guess that says something about his character (or his lack of money). He’s never said this, but I feel like I’m exiled to my room when he comes home. He has made perfectly clear that the living room is not a common area, as I assumed it was. We have no written agreement, and what I remember isn’t what he remembers… which, of course, is typical and the reason written agreements exist. >_<
So, in late April or early May, I mentioned I wanted a lease. I didn't think much more about it until he slid an already signed set of papers under my door. It wasn't what I remembered, so I didn't sign it or return it. He asked about it and I said, "That's not what we agreed upon. I'm not signing it because it's not what I agreed to in August" (2007, when I moved in). He was incredulous, and our relationship has essentially gone downhill from there. He's not a bad guy, just one I don't recommend living with. Ever.
His girlfriend is... annoying. But she's not over all the time, so it’s usually tolerable. I don’t like being around her because she doesn’t treat her children well at all. The older one, 7, basically takes care of the younger one, 1 (or just barely 2, I’m not sure), for her mother. It’s really… not good. Plus, the girlfriend is pregnant with Eddie’s son (they think it’s a boy).. and he doesn’t love her (not to mention she doesn’t love him). It’s times like these that I really REALLY wish we all had the Cylons’ collective problem, which is that they cannot procreate unless both parties love one another (ie: Helo and Athena). Or, at least, that’s what they (the Cylons) believe.
Anyway, that’s not the important part of this conversation. The girlfriend is pregnant now, regardless, and Eddie is going to “be responsible” and “pay for the kid” even though he “really regrets” what he did… which is… fuck the woman in the first place. I have a lot of problems with his attitude about the whole thing, but the most irritating/heartbreaking is that he doesn’t even want the kid. I’m sitting here pulling my hair out because he’s supposedly an adult, but he certainly isn’t acting like one. I really really want something to come back and bite him in the ass and I’m sorely tempted to push things in that direction. I… gave into my temptation with Bennett and it didn’t turn out well in the end. I can’t do that in this situation because I live with the guy. I could be kicked out. That’s not a good thing.
I need to move out on my own and be done with this whole thing sooner than later. It’s not fun or even okay anymore. I was thinking about paying off some of my credit cards with the school loan money, but I think I need to move out because this is ridiculous.
I’m not even sure this post makes any sense, but I’m tired of putting up with it. It’s really bad. Enough is enough.
PS: The baseball season is not helping.
