Confessions? Vents? Share them here!!

SB1512 · August 2012

Vent: I wish our condo would sell because I'm sick of dealing with our awful neighbors and sharing walls with jerks who run loud power tools from the moment they get home until 9:30 at night making it next to impossible to enjoy the evenings.

Confession, I really shouldn't be on here right now but I can't resist, lol. Vent, I got into my masters program, which I wanted, but it looks like my financial aid isn't coming through. Hopefully I just filled something out wrong. And the woman I spoke to about being in the program told me I wouldn't have to do any field work since I did as an undergrad and have teaching experience, but I found out yesterday that I do. I need 20 hrs this fall semeste. I started a new job, which doesn't have teaching hours, and now I need to ask them if I can come in an hour late twice a week for ten weeks so I can get in time at a high school. I hope they let me, or I'll have to drop out.

Confession: I also shouldn't be on here. I'm switching counties that I cover for work and the lady I'm taking over for has an incredibly packed schedule, so I have tons I need to do to prepare for that. Not to mention until they hire someone else to take over my county I'll be covering both. I'm going to be crazy busy for a while.

Vent: Also grad school related, haha. A professor from spring semester screwed up my grade. It took me two weeks to finally get a hold of the department chair and get it fixed, which needed to be done since I'm sitting the Master's Comps in September. Also, I'm sitting my CHES exam in October, so I opted to take a CHES Study Course as my class for this semester. But all the links to everything, assignments, video lectures, readings, etc. are all broken and the professor hasn't gotten back to me about it yet. My exam is on October 20th and I'm hoping to have the class completed by then so I'll get the most out of it, but so far I can't even start anything. Grad school blows.

Confession- #4, bad bad worker girl

Vent- Its that time for me to be um, careless/emotionally not normal. FI and I were daydreaming last night at houses, but he got a little pissy because I wouldnt blow the pictures up bigger, I didnt want to, he thought it was stupid (it was, I just didn't feel like doing it for every single one) so he got up and didnt talk to me for the rest of the night. Yes, I could have made them bigger, so OK, I tried telling him that and Im sorry, but he was all in a bad mood for the rest of the night, over nothing. I hate that he acts like a girl sometimes when IM supposed to be the one acting like a girl right now!

anastassiiat · August 2012

Confession: We dropped off my car at a garage to get fixed yesterday, and when FI was talking to them on the phone later on he referred to me as "my wife". It made me all super happy inside.

Vent: It's been kind of a crappy week for us financially, we had some medical expenses and we had to get small things fixed in both of our cars, so we'll have to take it easy over the next couple of weeks to make up for it.

Berry327 · August 2012

Confession: I'm a BM in a wedding in November, and the bachelorette party is this weekend (before the shower, don't get me started) and I really don't want to go.

Vent: This bachelorette party...it's an entire weekend down the shore (Thurs night-Sunday). a. I think it is way too long, and b. when we were all planning it, I specifically said that I couldn't do this weekend because I have a wedding to attend on Saturday that is way on the other side of the state. The MOH didn't care and booked it this weekend, so I'm driving 2 hours tonight after work by myself, to leave first thing Saturday morning, drive 2 hours home alone, shower, change and grab FI to drive another 2 hours to a different part of the state. And we're staying over after the wedding, so I won't sleep in my bed again until Sunday night.

Also, the MOH suddenly decides to tell us on Monday how much we each owe her for decorations and a gift (wtf? since when are bachelorette party gifts that aren't penis-related a thing?!), plus she wants us all to pitch in for bottle service at a club (I'm not a club person) that's $150/bottle, and she wants 2 bottles. WTF? for every party bachelorette party I've ever been to the MOH pays for herself and the bride, (especially since she planned this whole thing and is hosting and didn't give a damn about what we said about anything) and everyone else pays their own way. Financially this could not come at a worse time - had a bachelorette party and a birthday party last weekend, this party and the wedding this weekend, plus normal bills and the mortgage payment is due. ARGH!!!

lovefuzzies · August 2012

Confession: I've been very lazy this week. No house cleaning, haven't done homework and just sitting around on the couch...I feel very guilty.

Vent: I found out that after my FI and I had a huge fight a couple of weeks ago he went to his parents house and talked to his parents about everything we'd fought about. I guess this is a regular thing. When he needs to talk to someone he goes to his parents. I'm torn on this. I'm glad he has such a good relationship with his parents but I'm a firm believer that personal disagreements should be kept personal and not involve outside parties UNLESS it gets to the point that you need a neutral third party to mediate and then you get a counselor! So after I found this out I blew up (I have no idea if I went overboard or not) and told him I didn't agree with him involving his parents. He's floored that I choose to work things out on my own and don't go telling friends/family members about the fights we have. I've vented about fights in past relationships and it's proven to be nothing but bad because then the people that you tell want to make you feel better by saying things like "What a jerk" and "I can't believe he did that" but I don't think that kind of thing helps anyone work anything out, it just causes division between the couple. Now I'm completely paranoid that his parents think less of me than before because of what he may have told them (which I have no idea what exactly he told them and I think that's just feeding my paranoia) and I really like his parents and don't want there to be anything but happy feelings in the family (my last marriage consisted of ex's family hating me because I wasn't the "right" religion and wouldn't convert and ex-MIL sowed some serious seeds of division between ex and me).

So as I'm typing this I'm now feeling like I'm the completely psycho girl that every man wants to stay away from. OMG I hope that's not true

Sorry for such a long (and potentially crazy?) vent.

[QUOTE]love - I feel the same way. I used to bring up my fights with FI with other people, but then I'd forgive him and then think that the person I vented to would hold a grudge... I definitely think that if you can't work it out amongst yourselves without bringing someone in (unless it's a relationship/marriage counselor), things can get super tricky. Now I just keep it to myself, because our fights only last a short while, and I want everyone to continue to love him and think of him as I do... he's amazing and I never want to tarnish someone else's opinion of him because I was in the heat of the moment. I think you guys should talk about that calmly (which is another hard thing for me, I always get right to screaming lol), and how it makes you both feel. He probably doesn't see him going to his parents the way you (or I) do, so maybe he'll understand more once you two discuss it.
Posted by mrskaiser22[/QUOTE]

<div>That's pretty much our situation. The fights never last long and we both always end up apologizing to each other for being silly and I totally agree about not tarnishing opinions because of heat of the moment things. We have talked about it and he just doesn't understand my point of view. He says his parents "aren't like that" and they don't judge people (I sincerely hope not but I guess we'll find out, right?). I've come to the conclusion that he's going to continue talking to his parents whether I like it or not, I just need to put on my big girl panties, suck it up and try to not let it bother me. There's always those things about significant others that bother you and this is just not a battlefield issue for me because there are worse things that could be happening for sure. Thanks for making me feel not so crazy, LOL!</div>

FutureMrsAdams2013 · August 2012

Confession: I have so many errands I need to be running. Vent: TMI... U have been warned! My uterus hates me, it ruined my workout this morning and now the cramps are so bad I can't even sit up for too long. Midol is my friend!

cnf2013 · August 2012

Love, I feel you. FI and I try to keep our disagreements and arguements to just us. The guy I dated before him went and told his parents all about the rough patch we went through. I didn't know this until months later when we went out for NYE and he did a bunch of cocaine behind my back and in his manic high told me about how he told his parents what a terrible person I was. He went on to say how much they hated me and how since he was their only hope for grandkids they hoped we break up so they didn't have to worry about getting them from me someday. True story. And now, even if FI or I says something to our friends, we've had the same mutual friend group for like ten years so everyone knows each other so well we'd never hold things against one anothers SO. As far as parents, we might say, "yeah we had a small fight" but not divulge any details.

ashlidie · August 2012

love, Im on board. I think the only venue that is good for venting are honestly places like TK where total strangers will listen to you, but dont pass judgements on you or FI (or well, they do but it doesnt REALLY matter with regards to your personal relationship with FI). FI did it in the beginning with his parents and it made me feel super awkward, but after telling him my feelings he understood and has since stopped. I hate when people write on FB about how their bf sucks or did X awful thing but then they are with him again 2 days later. I have cousins like this and it drives me insane that they are that stupid to stay with that loser (like, cheaters type losers) AND see there, now me, family, doesn't like some guy ive never met...

walgrrl · August 2012

Confession: I am starting to have second thoughts about the wedding dress I bought! This is so bad, because I already changed my mind about my dress once. I didn't like the first one I bought, but since I changed my mind only one day after I bought it, they let me switch my deposit over to this one (same store and same designer, so no problem). That was over a month ago, and now I just feel like I don't really like this one and I want a different style. I am just regretting that I didn't shop around more. I feel like I must be crazy. I'm going to go try on my dress again tomorrow and hopefully I'll like it.

Vent: My fiance needs a new car! This is the worst possible timing. Money is already so tight because of student loans and the wedding. We had to cut a lot of corners already to be able to afford the wedding and this is really throwing a wrench into things. He took it to get inspected and in order to pass it will need repairs that cost more than the car is worth, so he really has no choice. It really sucks.

cadamus · August 2012

Confession: I'm low on money and think I need another job just don't have any time!

vent: I work at a univeristy book store and freshman started moving in today. Their parents whin as much as they do and it is driving me crazy!!!! Also if I acted like any of the freshman when I was a freshman my mom would have knocked me on my butt (not really but you know what I mean). I just want to tell people I am sorry that you can't read signs that say that text books can't be purchased at these registers and I'm sorry I cant answer you text book questions bc I am not in the text book department!!!!! It's crazy!

ashbeth06 · August 2012

Major vent alert here!

Today was the first day for my co-lead and I to get into our classroom. It is used for summer camp as well as 4k. The camp crew was suppose to clean up the room for us to get in there today to start getting ready for 4k. They did the worst clean up job I've ever seen. They didn't do much of anything. When they mopped, the floor was still dirty. It was like they just moved the mop a bit and didn't scrub and over by the fridge the floor is STILL sticky. It's been sticky for at least a week. So my co-lead and I had to clean, vacuum, and rearrange our room. I was very irritated most of the morning, but my director popped in and asked if we wanted to come on their coffee run, so we did. My vanilla blended coffee helped my mood and probably the sunshine on the short walk.

Confession: I haven't done anything wedding in the past week and a half. No decision on floral or cake. I NEED to make an appointment with my favorite grocery store with their bakery and floral shop ASAP before school starts.
