Thanks so much you guys. I had a horrible day, actually.. well the day was ok, but tonight just was a royal nightmare. This is so sweet, it made me cry. Thanks. I'm really glad I met you all. I'm sorry as well that your special day wasn't nice. Hope you're better now. Hopefully your next B-Day will be the perfect one

Thanks guys. You're very sweet. It wasn't anything too life-altering. The first 1/2 of my day was ok. I went to work, but the little girl I work w/ wasn't bad that day, so it was ok. I made cupcakes w/ her and her brother on my "lunch break." After, I did a teenie bit of thrift shopping and got calzones to bring home. At home, my boyfriend was very sweet and actually got me a pretty birthday cake ... he tried to find a LPS one, but couldn't, so he bought a teeniest-tiniest set and took the 3 little pets out and put them on the cake w/ big number candles. It was VERY cute, and really sweet. I even conned him into singing for me (he sounds like a dying cat when he sings, but it is ever so cute, lol). I opened my 1 present from my mom (some gorgeous new clothes) and then cleaned off and explored the teeniest LPS he had gotten (I've never gotten one - just been collecting the big ones!). Up to there, everything was lovely. Unfortunately, after that, my boyfriend pretty much ignored my existence and went on the computer. We play WoW, a MMORPG-style game online, and it happened to be a stressful evening. He got really upset with me, and there was some drama within our guild (group of friends that play together, I guess?). It all resulted in a lot of yelling and door slamming, and overall the lack of respect for me on my birthday especially was ridiculous. Like I said, he pretty much neglected that it was my birthday after giving me the cake. I ended up blaring music and crying in our spare bedroom until around 3am, when I woke up and crawled into our bed for the rest of the night. I realize as I attempt to explain the events, that it sounds very petty and childish. Without being part of the conversations and drama that ensued, I can't really explain to you the reality and intensity of it. That game is hardly just a game... it is another existence and a very real part of his/our lives (whether thats for the best or not is very debateable). At any rate, since then, things neurtalized for a few days over the weekend. He was quiet and a little depressed, but kind and obviously trying. Last night (Sunday) he went back on the computer, and I'm not sure what happened but he's been angry and hostile ever since. I'm leaving him alone. Hopefully he'll get over whatever it is, but I've learned that prying only makes things worse. We are getting ready for our cross-country move back to FL (from CA), and none of the plans we'd hoped for have materialized, so needless to say it's a trying time. I'm hoping it's just that stress that's eating him. I wish I could do more, but I'm trying to leave him be and do what I can for myself for now. That, as crazy as it sounds, is the simplified version of all this insanity that's filled the first few days of my 23rd year alive. Thanks again for the hugs and well-wishes. They're always appreciated. I hate talking so much about my personal crazy situations, but I appreciate you all being there. Thanks again *hugs*

I'm sorry you had to go through all of that. Drama like that makes me so upset and stressed. I hope things are back to normal soon.

Wow you poor thing. I don't think that was fair to you to happen on your birthday. My Ex was always on the computer and I truly honestly believe that is what caused our marriage to go down the drain. We were married for 22 yrs. When my son was 5 yrs old he would complain to me that Daddy was always on the Computer and didn't play with me. ( I worked 2nd shift). He also would let him run the neighborhood at 5 yrs old. We constantly fought about it. Well my son and my ex live together now and my son who is 20 says his father still won't put his laptop down and even carry on a conversation with him. I think that is sad. Anyway my purpose of the story is to kinda give you the heads up that it can get worse and maybe you can nip it early. I wish your birthday could have been better and I feel very sad for you.

Thanks so much everyone. I've been making the most of it. He's gotten a little better, but it's one of those things that gets better then worse, then better, and so on. I really appreciate the advice LPSNANA; if he doesn't work on it, I don't think I will be able to stay w/ him permanently. He loves kids and says he wouldn't do such a thing to his own kid, but things might change if he found himself actually there in that situation! Either way, I wouldn't want a child of ours seeing how he is to me - that's not healthy either! It's very sad, b/c we have such a great time together when things are going well - we're playful and goofy in a somewhat unique way, and we have lots of fun. Hopefully we can work on things, but if not, I guess I am still young. Honestly I think he's addicted and wants to get away from the game, but can't. I think the move will be a much needed break from it for both of us! Really can't wait! That's just crazy, about your son. That must have been so hard for him, growing up! I imagine that caused you lots of stress! Hopefully your son has found piece of mind and it hasn't caused him too many problems into adulthood. Still, it's very sad. I'm sorry you had to go through all of that. Drama like that makes me so upset and stressed. I hope things are back to normal soon. Thanks. I'm the same way with drama. It's bad enough when you're not involved, but being involved in it is just so horrible. Feels like you're losing your sanity.. just want to pull out your hair, lol. Things are slowly working back to normal, although now I'm so busy packing boxes and dealing with moving things, that "normal" isn't really "normal," lol (hope that made sense). Thanks, jleetwo, for the cute picture! That really made me smile! What a cute doggie w/ sweet droopy love-me eyes and the giant lollipop! Hehe! And of course, thanks starchaser022 and everyone. It's so great to have such caring and supportive people here. I don't get to visit the site as often as I'd like (and use to!), but I always smile when I do! Love you guys! Thanks so much again!
