Poor Boyfriend, who needs a nickname so I can stop just calling him boyfriend, I need something more creative than that. I'll call him Mor-leidr (it took me forever to finally decide what I wanted to call him!!) It means pirate in Welsh, pretty cool I think, and fitting since he is a sailor and everyone knows that all the best sailors are pirates, plus I love pirates. So anyway back to why Mor-leidr was in the dog house. First he believed that he got lucky and Monday had passed him by, since his Monday was great and felt surprisingly not like a Monday. Little did he know that Monday was coming back with a vengeance! Late Monday (real Monday) is when his case of the Monday's started, he had this giant pack of papers that he needed to print off to prepare for his busy week. His printer decided to not play nice, at all, so after spending forever working with it he finally gave up and went to bed. Tuesday (Monday with a vengeance) rolled around and still no luck with the printer, plus he didn't sleep very well and was very tired at work. Then the power went out! He still had a stack of work to do and did as much as he could before they sent him home. That had the potential to work to his advantage but Monday was not done with him, not even close! He stopped at the store to pick up some things he needed only to find that the store didn't have it and he would have to go to Layton to get them. Then he thought his luck was turning around when a guy called and wanted to buy his truck, but couldn't come see it till later that night. Luckily Mor-leidr was smart enough (so he thought) to tell him that wasn't possible since he had already made plans and had a date :-) They agreed to meet the next day. Date time rolls around and he comes to pick me up. Now we had decided the day before to see Thor, a group of our friends, not knowing our plans invited us to go see the 8:00 p.m showing with them. After talking it over we decided Mor-leidr needed some sleep and politely turned them down telling them we had actually already planned on seeing an earlier showing at 7 p.m. at the mall. Best Friends (We'll call them Meilleur and Catuli) were giving me a hard time since I haven't seen them for a while! I apologized and they both were disappointed but understood. Mor-leidr came and picked me up with just enough time to make it to the mall. Yet as we were driving down the road he informed me that his wingman wanted to double with us. I was alright with that, then he informed me that we were going to an later show, the 8 p.m., in fact we were going to the very same theater that our group of friends was going too............ WHAT! Ok that hit a bit of a nerve for a couple of reasons.
1. By telling our groups of friends "no" and then suddenly showing up with a different group of his friends sends the message that his friends are cooler than our friends and that we would rather be with them than the first group of friends that invited us!! That is a big NO-NO in my book. I have had that done to me several times and it sucks! I hated feeling like that and I would NEVER do that to my friends, and now suddenly I was going to be one of THOSE people!! I told him that I had to text Meilleur and Catuli immediately to explain to them why they were going to see me at the theater and why I wasn't with their group but another one instead. So that lead to reason
2. Which was, I was suddenly texting on a date and I DO NOT text on dates and try to keep my phone as concealed as possible when I am with Mor-leidr, because when I am with him I don't want to be rude and be on my phone.
3. Then I found out that he told our group of friends "no' only AFTER he asked the "who is going to be there?" question. I HATE that question, really I do, if we are your friends what does it matter who is going to be there, either come because you want to be with us and play with us or don't come. It doesn't really matter who is going, cuz we are all friends.... right? I made him text the one in charge of setting up the movie and also explain to him why we were going to be there and why we weren't with them.Which made me think of reason
4. He had agreed to the whole double date thing without even asking if it was alright, which normally I am ok with, but it made me mad when it came after all the other things that happened. When I texted to do damage control Catuli was understanding when I told her I would see her. Meilleur was not so much, she has been in the same position of people showing up with other friends after turning you down position too and she hates it as much as I do. She was unhappy enough to call Mor-leidr a stupid poo face and that I should break up with him. She even almost ignored me when we saw them at the movie. Then to top it all off
5. The person we were doubling with didn't buy our tickets, so we didn't even end up sitting by them!!! Yup he was majorly in the dog house. Luckily he got me in there in time to see the previews, because if we had missed them he would be in even bigger trouble, and I'm not sure he could have survived that. Now normally things don't get to me very easily and I am a pretty understanding easy person, but all of these things combined really struck a nerve and Mor-leidr got the cold shoulder for quite a while, even when he took me to dinner before the movie. It was the first time he has ever seen me that mad. I kinda felt bad afterward that I had been so unhappy with him after his already bad day. So by the time we got into the theater I had forgiven him, he still kept looking at me through the whole movie and giving me the sheepish "are-we-ok" smile. Afterward he took me home and we talked for awhile and apologized and said our good nights.
But Monday was not quite done with him yet! So Wednesday (Monday's revenge part 2) he took work off so he could finish getting ready for his 2 week training thing with his job. His first line of business was to sell the aforementioned truck. He went out to get the truck to drive to SLC to meet the guy and dun dun dun, there was a flat tire! HA yes I really was laughing my head off when he told me this. Then when he met the guy there were more complications and hours later the truck was not sold and he had wasted his morning. That was followed by more complications with printers and what not, followed by him being late to pick me up. But I wasn't holding that against him. He already has had a rough couple of Mondays and it was our last night together before he left for 2 weeks. We went out for a really nice dinner at Maddox, I LOVE that place, he really spoils me sometimes. Then we went back to his house to feed the snakes and help him finish some last minute packing. Since he had to get up early the next morning he decided to take me home, he could tell I was a little sad and not quite ready to go, so he suggested we take a walk around the block together. :-) See even after his rough days he is still sweet and thoughtful. We walked around the neighborhood as the sun was setting and it was just starting to get cool. It really was nice and even though I was still a little sad it was great to spend that time together just talking and being together. He took me home and stayed a while then he finally really had to go. I know it was later than he was planning but it was our last time to talk and be together for 2 weeks. Really no texting, phone calls or anything. Hopefully it'll go by quick, and I know I'll stay busy, but still it'll be just a little strange to not see him or hear from him for so long when I'm now use to at least hearing from him everyday. But this will be a good time for me to kinda decide where I want this all to go and to kinda think about the future and things like that. So we will see how it goes and where everything goes from here.
