Couch 127: The Wayward Couch

Yeah, that whole text is an oxymoron.

Is this the friend you were worried about earlier?

Omygosh, it's early for Valentine's Day but came across a valentine that a few of us on the Couch might find useful.

Everything you wanted know about yurts!

See, I was expecting that to be a Dear T valentine. But yours is much funnier!

I've been down all day with a disgusting stomach virus, but I finally had to guzzle a cup of coffee because the caffeine withdrawal was worse than anything going on down below.

A sick day is so much less fun when you are genuinely sick!

I've been in comfortable denial about having to get a new job by March, but now it's starting to bite.

ok i wrote as i was crying...but i think what he actually wrote makes less sense?

"You come across as selfish. Horribly, reproachable self centered so many effing times, its unreal. I'm done making an effort. You are a ****** friend, Velcro.
No, my good friend's boyfriend. I was also really upset to think she thought hte same thing.she doesn't, and said that sometimes my words come across as curt or abrupt, but that isn't the way she would go about talking to me about it. It is hard for her because she's in the middle.

It's crappy, Velcro, and it makes me mad that he sent that to you. Because if a person is truly trying to resolve an issue within a relationship, it is most productive to do so in person, and without being so accusatory. That yields actual change. This was intended solely to hurt you.

When I told him (after apologizing profusely) that his words hurt me, he just wrote "it is how i feel."

i see what he means, but i would never say that to someone, no matter how angry i was. but, since i am the one in the wrong here, i just let it go.

You're not in the wrong just because he said so. I would put more stock in the feedback your actual close friends give to you about your relationships.

Hes still ungrammatical and looking up words in the thesaurus. Like hes diagnosing you. Why doesnt he say how he feels? I guess im sensitive to his criticism because people tell me im a knowitall. So TELL me im being a knowitall - it doesnt mean i dont CARE about you. It just means i think i have an answer. A stereotypically masculine trait, but that does not by definition make a person an ahole. Does it?

As long as I'm around you'll never be the biggest knowitall in the room.

Hey, you want to put your amaaazing assembly skills to use putting together a punching bag stand for me?

Sometimes I like to think that the smiley faces that my t puts in his emails are the equivalent to a good for your high five, or a nice friendly hug. A bit silly I know!!

But he's the boyfriend of my best friend.

See, i balance y'all out cuz I'm a know-it-nuthin!

Can you just avoid him and ignore him?

That's such a non-apology...

Ugh, hope you feel better soon! Stomach bugs are the worst...(I have a whole phobia about them...)

I do love these ads. Grateful to Kashi and all, but I see a lot of an exaggerated version of him in these spots.

no. this needs to get worked out. advised by my friend, i am letting him cool down and he holds the ball.

what i am really sad about now, is i texted my T earlier today asking her to call-but she wasn't able to while i was on lunch. i asked if maybe she could call tonight. she never responded either way, but i guess taht is a no

Those are hilarious. And also, oddly comforting. The guy is so guileless.

No SMART Recovery (they're secular) groups where you are?

Hugs hugs hugs hugs

He's jealous. He wants her to himself. He may grow out of it.

Ive always wanted one of those. Do you have to put sand in the bottom or what? I have a watsername not david bowie, rod watsisnames model wifes rachel stg? Had a boxing workout tape, back when they were still tapes. Rachel hunter?
