But things were going so well...

So I am having boy issues yet again. Jake and I are "seeing other ppl" but never of us have found others to see, so we see each other 3-5 nights a week. Things were going so well. I was enjoying our time...most of the time it was my projects, but he seemed happy enough to help. I even almost told him I loved him, but never quite got it out.

A week ago he asked me a multiple choice question.
  1. Does he try to repair his car ($2,000) and register it
  2. Does he trade in his car for a nice pretty truck (that he doesn't need right now)
  3. Does he fix up his dads clunker ($1000ish) and drive it for a year to find himself debt free this time in 2011.

What did I choose...if you know me at all, it would have been door # 3. I failed to mention that he is $3000 upside down in the car, he can only get $5000 for his trade in, which is a crock if you ask me...he got screwed. And he is already $20,000 in debt. He takes my advice and that is what he WAS going to do on Monday.

Tuesday he shows up with roses. I asked him why I have roses...it came withi his suprise. Last I checked, old clunkers don't give out flowers...but brand new full sized, 4-door Chevy Silverado's do! I was shocked and I am sure to help lesson the blow on me...he made sure I knew it had butt warmers. My first thought was..."Oh so when you said that you wanted to buy me a ring in 2011, you were kidding. Okay, I know where I stand. Somewhere between a rational thought and a desperate desire to have what you want NOW!"

That is all I have energy for tonight...but tomorrow I will tell you the story of how someone was accused of NEVER paying for dinner and someone else broke Deloris...

  1. Seriously I am really getting bugged I find out info from your blog!!!
    But now to move on....Don't hate me....but I would never drive an old clunker, too much pride or whatever you want to call it. And I have been known to sell a car the minute that it has one little thing wrong with it. So I can't totally fault him for this one. Go easy on him. He bought flowers.
    I also have a lot more to say but I will tell you in person.

  2. OOOOh NO! That would piss the living hell right out of me. Pretty much a deal breaker actually. He is putting a stupid truck above much more important things, namely a future with you. If he knows that financial security and responsibility are big issues for you and problems you have with him, then he goes and does this....what is he telling you Brookie! Marriage comes with crazy difficulty as it is, this guy is showing his cards before you even get there. Sorry babe, but I think he has a LONG way to go before he is worthy of you. Let me emphasize LOOOOONG way to go!

    But I am with Poecker, not a fan of finding this out on your blog!
