about something that is none of my business but i find totally annoying. dh is telling me most of this, but he doesn't want to discuss it. he's like "it's just fyi, no more talking LALALALALALA." no fun, you guys.anyhoo.christie and paul have been dating. paul has long, long history of "being moody" (which, to me, is code for "selfish and immature"). christie quit awesome job to move to nowhereville where paul lives and work at a borders bookstore. paul is driving christie nuts. if they're at home (which is ALL THE TIME because paul "really doesn't feel like dealling with people, mmkay?"), paul insists that they talk. christie can't watch tv or read a book because it really hurts paul's feelings, and they are wasting their time together if they are not talking.dh and i are friends with both. they have cancelled on the last five outings because paul is working late. i JUST found out from christie -- paul has flex hours. as long as he bills a certain number of hours per week, he can work however long he wants. it's not that he's working late, it's just he wants to spend time his way. christie kind of wants to spend it doing fun things.christie just told us that paul is gaining serious weight. as in, he's not becoming housebound obese, but he gets home, puts a pound of pasta in some water, and eats the whole thing with ragu. 1) gross. 2) that's a very large amount of food. paul has apparently gained almost 50 pounds. that's a lot in a little amount of time.christie is having "come to Jesus" talk #3 with paul this weekend, because it's only monday and paul already is going to have to work late this weekend. i know IT'S OBVIOUS paul is tres depressed. paul knows it too, but he just "doesn't feel like" taking meds all the time. christie is insisting, "it's not all the time; it's once a day and it prevents your murder." any advice? thoughts? further discussion?
