Next episode of Doom's Soap Opera:

Since we haven't talked in a while, I sent her a message wishing her a happy birthday, and she was appreciative, and starting chatting with me a bit. She stopped after said birthday, but I at least re-initiated contact and we can be friendly. If anything she's probably making sure to distance herself so she doesn't hurt herself again.

ANYWAY, 90% of my friends are around Ex all the time, so I hear about her constantly. Like, I don't bring her up, and the conversation will turn to her. All the time. I hear about her every day just about. Turns out Ex and her new bf don't seem to be acting all that interested in each other and are hanging out less. So that's whatever. If I did decide to try dating again, it seems like it's setting up to be a decent possibility. Just, uh. You know. There's me wondering if that's what I want to do.

I dunno man. Life is complicated and fully of mystery.

Are the reasons you broke up no longer valid? Do you see yourself having a real future with this ex? How likely is it that this will end up in a murder suicide? Things to ask yourself before you take the next step.

Uncertain. It's been about 2-3 years now. We've both grown and changed a lot. I would personally say it's worth another shot. The only thing stopping me is I don't want to waste her time if I'm wrong.

I'm not sure? I've never had a future with anyone before. It's not something I can wrap my head around very well.

What about your time?

Just from that comment, I'd say it's a bad idea. She's a grown woman, she can decide things for herself. If you feel you have to be the decider on that, or that you have to protect her from yourself, then that's a pretty big red flag.

No, not that at all. If I say, "Hey. I'm in this for the long haul," and then I'm not, that's kind of a shit move and wasting her time that she thought was promised to her.

That being said, yes, we're all adults and can make our own adult decisions, etc etc etc.

It's been over a month since someone else has been in my house. A friend will be coming over tomorrow. Guess I have to make this place presentable.

Ugh...

I dusted the whole house yesterday in preparation for my niece and her kids to come over. It wasn't bad, but it was time to dust anyway.

Today, all that dust has drifted from the air right back onto the furniture. And I used those damn swiffer "picks up the dust with static" bullshit dusters that did nothing of the sort.

No sleep last night due to pain. I have to go to work and deal with nasty chick who didn't work OT this weekend and we are all behind schedule on our big project now.

FML.

Well, his previous posts say that he's entered "shit or get off the pot" territory with this girl. It's basically time to put a ring on it or say goodbye forever.

This.

Except even if that's how it feels to him, it's been three years. That's not an absolute reset, but it does set things back a bit.

Also this.

Would you mind me asking how old you guys are?

We both just hit 28.

So anyway, I'm deciding to just leave things be for now and see where life goes. If I don't know the answer to something, that means that no current choice is the right answer, and to wait until the obvious choice pops up. In TellTale games logic, I've chosen the "..." dialogue option, and letting the plot advance itself.

I hate abbreviated work weeks. All a long weekend means to me is that I've got to compress 7 days worth of work into 3 days instead of 5. Monday morning and I'm already trying to drink from a firehose.

It would still have been nice to let me know they were planning on arriving early. I wasn't expecting them until Thursday.

WELL like I had other plans anyway or something, I guess.

Yeah, now I don't have to feel bad about leaving you forever alone all week. :p

That wasn't a joke.

Don't tell me you are visiting? Don't expect me to deviate from my schedule.

Thankfully, yes, they are not staying at my place. They're at my Grandfather's place out west of town, where the kids can go run in the woods and do stuff. But they've already called me on my cell twice. I've told them I probably won't get off work until 7 and that I'll see them after that.[DOUBLEPOST=1448304046,1448304025][/DOUBLEPOST]

I would feel sadder for you if they showed up out of no where AND were staying at your place. But I still sympathize because if my family did that to me I'd have a panic attack. :confused:

I'd have hit the goddamned roof if they expected to stay at my place. That they're staying where they are is what squeezes them through the narrow gap of "not completely thoughtless," but it still rings pretty inconsiderate when my first clue is a phone call at 11am on monday saying "Hey, we're all here, come on over why dontcha?" BECAUSE I HAVE TO WORK. I mean, even if I did have a backup to cover for me, I would have needed more than zero days' notice to get thanksgiving week off.
