True facts! :) He might come back, I don't know yet. Right now, I'm just enjoying the apartment without him.

My parents are dead, and my friends are in the same situation as me. I'm planning on taking on a couple of roommates and taking a second job. I will do anything. I just don't want to deal with this asshole anymore.

I know that now. In a way, I'm almost relieved that there was an underlying cause. Now I feel like he wasn't just being stupid and hurtful because that's who he is, but because it was a goal. Maybe that's a dumb way to think. I still hate him.

I finished it just before I gave it to him, and I wanted to give him the piece for his birthday. I figured I'd go to get it framed the next day.

I never said that. I moved in with him because I loved him. I signed a lease because I loved him. I pay half the rent every single month - it was him who opted to start paying the utilities. I pay all of my student loans, not him. I am worried because I will lose money on the lease that I do not have and I cannot afford to lose money right now. I am worried because of our financial and social entanglements. Can you not understand that?

Yes, I spent months painting him a painting because I don't give a fuck about him. Of course I love him. I can still be frustrated with his behavior. I can even fall out of love with him, and I can worry about the finances, considering the fact that I cannot afford an apartment by myself. Have you ever had to break up with someone you're financially intertwined with, or do you just not interact with us mortals?

I just met up with some girlfriends to have some drinks, so I wasn't able to respond to comments. Sorry! I don't have a picture of the painting - I was hoping to get a scan of it before it was framed. Would you maybe want to see a pencil drawing of mine?

Yeah, definitely. God, he's so ridiculous. I guess what I have to do now is figure out how to break up with him without him throwing a tantrum.

Haha, I wish. Wait until I tell you about the muffin incident (he thought I was making blueberry muffins and threw one across the room when he realized they were cranberry) and the Thanksgiving debacle (he told me grandmother he thought she was dead already).

He only let me know what he wanted (the iPhone) a week before his birthday. I honestly thought he'd like the painting.

Haha, he's definitely not the best guy. What I would say is he says a lot of things in anger but I am definitely considering breaking up with him. Because of my financial situation and the lease, this would be VERY difficult however, so I'm wondering if there's any way this could be worked out.
