My boyfriend and a couple of guys got 40 gallons of water out of the basement, but more kept coming in! He's going to talk to the original owner tomorrow, because he's supposed to meet him at the house. He's going to ask if it's happened before, and what he did. My bf's thinking of hiring a contractor to handle the problem, but that's more money we really don't have to spend.

Because of all this, we may not be moving as soon as we'd planned. We hoped to be in the new house by the weekend, or shortly after, but now, we may have to put it off for as long as a month or till the end of our lease (the end of next month).

I'm pretty sure my bf has an anxiety problem, because he worries a lot, gets very negative often, gets a lot of "buyer's remorse," especially with big purchases, and often seems like he's going to crack. I don't mean crack, as in become violent or dangerous, but like he's just going to break down crying miserably. It increases my own anxiety. When he's driving, he loses his temper with bad drivers--which I understand, but sometimes it makes me nervous. When he's really stressed, it makes me especially nervous, because he sometimes has jerk reactions...not as jerky or violent as most, but enough to make me worry about sudden moves with a car, you know?

He cusses and insults the drivers and pedestrians who do wrong and dumb things. I'm not upset that he gets angry at them, but he loses his temper a little more than I think he should. Maybe I'm just oversensitive to it, and he's not as bad as most you see in "road rage" videos, but it's a little more than I think is healthy.
