I don’t know why I’ get so annoyed when jack is being a selfish jerk. I mean I have a WHOLE blog based on the fact that Jack is an asshole.
And I partly blame myself, perhaps I’ve tried so hard to be a good girlfriend to him that I let a lot of his bad behavior go unmentioned.
So, what has jack done today?
Well, they are petty things but I feel like they signify much bigger things….
Act#1
After the gym the other day we headed home. We each took our own car, because I went to the gym straight from work and Jack (who works from home) came to the gym from home.
So I followed him in my car and noticed he veered left instead of right. Clearly he was going to the liquor store. So I thought perhaps he would ask me if I wanted anything, but of course not.
It was silly of me to expect him to thing of me.
However the day before (after a day of work, gym, grocery shopping, walking and feeding the dog) Jack had one thing to say to me “I wish you told me you went to the market, I wanted some beer”.
And what I hate about this, is I DID feel guilty for not thinking of him!!
But what’s really fucked up, is while I feel guilty, these standards are not expected from Jack!!
I’ve spoiled him rotten. He can sit back and complain I don’t do certain things for him anymore, but I can’t complain because he’s never done anything for me anyway.
He will only twist it around, that he has not changed and I shouldn’t expect this from him.
Act #2
Jack being the caring and loving bf, that he is. *sarcasm*
Suggested I start dieting to lose weight, I listened because he’s right I could use to shed a couple of pounds.
So what does jack do while I do my low carb diet?
He decides to cook 20 pounds of stir fry. Now Jack NEVER cooks, but one day he decided to cook for 3 hours to make weeks worth of food for himself. That I can’t have. Because he doesn’t cook, he asked for my help, which of course I did help him.
But what’s fucked up is that the other day I bought myself low-carb food to have for my dinner and guess who eats half of it?
While he has his months and months worth of delicious food, that I can’t have because of my diet, he decided to eat the food I bought.
I buy food for the week and he eats half of it. He buys months worth of food and tell me I can’t have any because I’m on a diet.
I realize these are petty things, but what do they signify to me?
- He holds a different standard of expectation for me and not for himself. While I try to be the best girlfriend, he could care less about being a good boyfriend to me. While I give and give, and care. He will take, take and be selfish.
- He has no sympathy for me and he doesn’t care about me. He is not intentionally mean, but on a larger scale, he frankly doesn’t give a shit about my happiness. He is perfectly okay with me being miserable. When he is hungover and too tired to come out to breakfast with our friends, I will bring him back ( with out him asking) a breakfast sandwich and a coffee while he is in bed. When I’m cranky and trying hard to lose weight, he will suggest we go eat beer and pizza.
My boyfriend is an asshole and these petty things are starting to take over the bigger picture. As much as I love him, I can’t be with someone who doesn’t care about my happiness. I am not that selfish, I care too much for others and perhaps I should find someone like me.
The problem is I can’t even tell him these things, because he will just manipulate them into how I am too emotional, too dramatic, too critical…
But I am who I am. Shouldn’t I be able to be myself in a relationship?
