[HPFGU-OTChatter] I love you gifts(This is a long post)

[Meredith Wilson]

Jamieson, that's terrible.  First of all, your partner should never bug you
about your looks, in my opinion.  Be it weight or whatever.  My personal
rule of thumb is keep your mouth shut about other people unless it's
something they can immediately fix (like spinich in your teeth).  I'm hard
on myself sometimes about my size, but if my husband was, I'd be forced to
kick his butt from here to Timbuktu.  It's none of his business, and if he's
with me because of my stunning good looks, (which he wouldn't be because I
don't have stunning good looks...) I wouldn't want him to be with me at all.
 
And I love you gifts are great, and I also have a problem with people who
won't buy you what you want just because it's impractical or even because
they don't like it.  If you like it, it should be good enough for them
because you like it.  Anyway, enough of my rant... sorry you're upset.  I
hope it works out.
 
Meredith

Hello everybody...

Well, your friendly neighbourhood Jamieson feels like crying at the 
moment, and I need to get it off my chest....It's really REALLY off 
topic, but I'd love you guys even more if you read it all the way 
through. I need someone to listen, if they could be so kind....

I was out shopping with my partner Mitch this afternoon. I picked up a 
new book ("Bride By Surprise" by Muriel Jensen...it's a romance. Yes, 
their fluffy, but I love em!). 

But we're in a clothing store, and I was looking at a pair of pants 
that I thought were really neat. It went like this:

Mitch: Try the X-Large
Me: Goodness, have I gotten that big?
Mitch: Yep. You have. You used to be thin, and now look at you.

Needless to say, I just sort of shrugged that off. Kind of like, yeah, 
Okay, whatever. 

So, from there, I went to work. Now, for months and months and months, 
he's been promising to buy me the collectible figureine of Hermione. I 
dropped loads of hints about it today. Thing is, I buy him lots and 
lots of what I call "I Love You Gifts". Just a little something to 
show Mitch that I love him.

So, I phone him, and the conversation went like this:

Me: Hey sexy, did you buy me a present, ha ha ha?
Mitch: No. Why would I do that?
Me: What? 
Mitch: Well, it's not a practical gift. I believe in buying practical 
things.
Me: But you never buy me anything. 
Mitch: My point exactly. You have un-practical tastes. And I don't 
want you buying those pants, by the way.
Me: the blue ones with the red stripe?
Mitch: Yes.
Me: Why?
Mitch: cus you'll look fat in them.
Me: But I haven't even worn them yet! I'm buying them tomorrow!
Mitch: Well, whatever. You're the one whos fat, not me. I'm only 
telling you this for your own good.
Me: (practially in tears, and at work) Fine. I'll pick up the pants, 
and the *(&(^%^%#$% $#@!#%&&$%*^ $%(&*()&*^ )&)**&  **&&^^%%#! !@#%$% 
figure myself tomorrow. 
Mitch: Well, I'll just go and buy it for you now.
Me: Don't f*****g bother, I'll get it myself.
Mitch: Now you're being unreasonable.
Me: I have to get back to work.
Mitch: I love you.
Me: --click--

Can anyone see why I'm upset here? He is a Leo, and wants to be in 
control of the situation, but that's ridiculous! 

Thanx to all who've read this through to the end...I just needed to 
get it off my chest, so I don't break down into tears at work right 
now!

Sigh, I feel better.
Jamieson
