little ranting and bitching...

I love my boyfriend/fiance', but god he gets on my nerves sometimes.

So, there we are in the grocery store and he sees some meat seasoning he wants. First of all, I don't like pork chops or steak so it makes no difference to me what he puts on his meat... but I made the mistake of wrinkling my nose in disgust and he says "okay, i'll put it back". I didn't want him to put it back!! lol.. I just don't like it *shrugs*... but what really irritated me is why does he need my approval for everything? I'm not his mother.

Then he says to me "how can you grocery shop and not get any meats?" Well, I'm trying to eat healthier so I had got some ground turkey instead of hamburger and since I'm a full time college student and work when I'm not in school, a lot of the things I buy are quick cooking things like pizza, salads, chicken nuggets ( for my son ) etc.

Anyway, it turned into a huge argument so I just went to the checkout lane and he takes off to the truck... sometimes I think, why do I bother?:angry

Sounds like my husband.

Maybe he wants to ensure that whatever he gets is ok for you to eat too. Maybe he's just trying to adjust to this new lifestyle change. He's querying everything with you because he's probably not sure what he should get or can get, hoping you would help out in this, with respects to the band. My husband told this to me recently. I wish I knew earlier so I would have refrained from barking at him about his co-dependency on making decisions about food. LOL.

You are going through some things and he is too, or will be. This is no easy road. Everything leads to the band and the band is completely relative. Even down to a bottle of seasoning salt. I can't explain it to you now but you will see or have seen it. I wish or hope that you find the patience to handle a relationship, child rearing, school and the band, together. It can be hard work but it's all relative and it can all be in sync if you work on it.
