I have a very sad story to post. It's a true story told to me by an anonymous male. He obviously lost his man card...just read...so sad...
There is a transition point that a man and a woman go through when they live together. In this transition period you find out things about your partner that you never knew before. In my situation, my girlfriend is the greatest person to live with. She is the perfect roommate, friend and partner. She is the love of my life without a doubt but I could never forgive her for what I’m about to tell you.
It all happened on a chilly night and it was about 8:30pm. I come home from a long day of work and school and she’s home with open arms and a nice cooked meal. She greets me with a big kiss. She tells me that dinner is ready and that she is exhausted so she plans to go to sleep early tonight because she has to wake up extremely early the next day. I respond “no problem mami, I’m tired myself.” So while I eat dinner, she takes a shower. So right about now I’m feeling good. The stomach is full; I’m going to watch some sports center and relax.
It’s about 9:30pm and we turn off the lights. When I turn off the lights in my room it does not necessarily mean that I have decided to go to sleep. It just means that I don’t want my Con Edison bill off the roof. We are now both lying down! I’m still watching sports center and then I plan to watch a movie right afterwards. I’m tired but I’m clearly not sleepy. She is on her side of the bed trying to sleep. Because I’m so considerate of a man, I decide its only right to lower the volume of the TV so that she could fall asleep. She keeps turning and turning and can’t fall asleep. THATS WHEN IT ALL HAPPENED!! THE MAGIC WORDS THAT CHANGE OUR RELATIONSHIP FOREVER! She explains to me that I should turn off the TV. I respond “I’m not sleepy plus I’m watching sports center.” She says “well you need to turn off the TV because I can’t sleep.” I respond “what does that have to do with me. Go to sleep!” After minutes of arguing over the TV being turned on or off she starts to make me feel bad. She says that “I’m so inconsiderate, it’s always about you, and I don’t love her.” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I mean these things she was saying were extremely harsh. These words, after I thought by lowering the volume I was being nice and showing that I love her so much. So finally I asked her “what do you propose I do if I turn off the TV and I’m not sleepy?” She responds “Hug me and fall asleep.” In my head I’m thinking HOLY FUCKING SHIT!
On one hand, I have sports center and the other hand I have hugging. As bad as I want to continue to watch sports center the guilt was taking over though. So I decide to turn off the TV but instead of hugging I literally stared at the ceiling for about 4 hours until I fell asleep. While staring at the ceiling in the dark, I thought to myself “I have to go to sleep because she is sleepy!!” I now have a bed time. You might ask yourself, why he doesn’t just go to the living room and watch TV. The answer is because I live in the hood that’s why. We currently don’t have a living room because we turned it into a bedroom.
Listen people this shit is sad! I’m a grown ass man. I have a job, I’m continuing my education, I have a plan!! But the reality is, I have a BED TIME. Men understand what I’m going through right now! One night I happened to take a red bull around bed time. I didn’t know bed time was early that night so I drunk a red bull. I was wired! I didn’t tell her I did that. That night I lay down with her and sometime had passed and I got up quietly tip toeing out of the room. In my apartment the floor makes noise so you have to know where to exactly step. So I step out the room and I escape to my little sister’s room. I’m so excited because now I get to watch the Late Night Shows. About a half an hour passes and it’s HER asking me what I am doing. I respond “I was watching TV with my sister.” She asks me if I’m going to come to bed soon. Her tone of voice didn’t sound like a request it sounded more like a demand. So I wave to my sister goodbye and go lie on my bed and continue to stare at the ceiling. UNBELIEVABLE but true story!
WOW!!! CAN YOU SAY PUT ON A LEASH!!! I FIND THIS AMAZING! You need to put your foot down bruh and say, "hell no woman! I go to sleep when I want to!!! Now take your ass to bed while I watch my ESPN!" You might as well wear a cow bell so she knows where you're at at all times! First its come to bed with me, then don't watch tv, then you should wear different clothes, then its you should wear speedos at the beach. I'm done though. Do what the late Bernie Mac told his wife, "SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
You need to start this at 2:50!!! lmao do this!
Aww take the good with the bad I guess? Lmao
ReplyDeleteNO one should be controlled nor should anyone in a relationship do anything I repeat ANYTHING out of guilt. Compromise!!! It's all about compromise!!! In being with another person one needs to find a healthy balance between becoming one and not forgetting themself. nuff said.
