WTF… My partners are in China
Filed under: Heebie Jeebies - May 20, 2008 @ 8:06 amThat’s right, they’re gone for two weeks of unfettered access to each other while I have two weeks of… a house full of cats.
Normally, I’m not the jealous type. Most people probably experience having their partner go out of town without them. I am experiencing both of my partners going to the other side of the world.
They get to enjoy coupledom and I get to enjoy solitude. The house is kind of creepy with no one else here. It’s a good thing I have plenty of things to do to occupy my time. Here’s what I did the first two days of their vacation:
Day 1:
*dropped Beau and Beautiful off at the airport before the sun came up.
*Went to work my weekend job offering therapy for kids with autism.
*Spent 9 hours in the ER with a friend of mine who developed a sudden neurological disorder.
Day 2:
*Went to the first day of my internship and worked for 8 hours.
*Got a call from my mother, telling me she does not want to loan me her truck to pick up a king-sized bed, because she doesn’t approve of my current lifestyle choice.
*Helped a friend move a bunch of furniture for the rest of the night.
Thanks for keeping me company, guys.

Thats sad that your mom would do that to you, if it were me I would deny her help when she needed it. I know, I know, thats vengeance, I used to not be that way but have found that its the only way some people learn.

I KNOW. Plus, she seemed fairly cool with the whole me carpet-munching-in-a-triad-dating-people-10+-years-older-than-myself up until now. I’ll have to post more about my interesting conversation with my mom.

Been there on the partner in China, cat box duty in an empty house blows in the not fun way.
About your mom. What if it were just plain lesbian? Would she approve of that?
I hear that 3 is a magic number.
You don’t know me, but I approve!
That’s the fun part about growing up…you don’t have to let your family’s opinion matter. It’s just a drag she won’t loan you her truck.

It sucks that your mother is like that. My family gives me the same shit too, and they think I’m straight. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the way you live your life. In fact, it’s very close to what I’d like to have in mine. Don’t let your mom get you down, you’ll miss out on a lot of love.

Hey Belle, well, I’m sorry you’re in this boat, but glad that it means you’re posting. I’ve been curious to hear more from you ever since I read about the causes of your breakup. It struck a chord with me, because at the time, I was at the tail end of a relationship where I was feeling very similar things. So, thanks for making me feel less alone, even though you didn’t know you were doing it.
Anyway, that’s really not cool of your mom. I’m sorry. Maybe she will come around? It might take a little adjusting for her. And I’m not saying that it’s fair for you to have to wait for her to get with the program, just that I’ve seen it happen, so at least maybe she won’t be like this forever.

I’m sort of glad she still talks to you! Mine would be shitting entire brick houses.

Oh honey I cant believe your mom dropped that on you!! We like her a lot! She handled herself like a champ the other night when she came over for dinner.
We miss you like mad over here - it sucks being so out of touch! Were still looking for phone card and get to check email for 10 min every other day or so.
We keep getting rooms with two twin beds so we are sleeping separately, and it sure is different here. I am so sorry for this arrangement - had we known before we booked the flight…I also told Beau I wished you could have gone in my place since people think we look alike often enough. Thought you could use my passport… he said thats fraud and I said its illegal because they dont want you doing anything BAD and that wouldnt be bad. Its hard to breathe here…
LOVE YOU xoxoo

I’m glad you can have this outlet while your loves are gone. I know how hard it is to be the one who seems left out… but just think of all the cool, crazy, fun vacations you get to plan with them when they get back.
I hope you and TBK can get some time away alone… oh that sounds romantic.
I hope your mom comes around…

Belle,
I wish we could communicate how much we miss you even though its only been a few days!
That’s really too bad about your Mother. It’s especially surprising since we seemed to all get along so well at our recent dinner. I’m confident that she’ll come around–let’s be patient and give her some time to think about the repercussions of her actions. In reality, denying you the use of a truck is a fairly impotent gesture and she could be doing things much worse than that.
We love you and can’t wait to balance things out again for you!
Please send our best to your friend in the hospital. We’re hoping for a full recovery!

We got back in town last night and have been cuddling like crazy!
YAY Belle
