Apologies in advance for the potential length of this rant, I just feel I need to get it all off my chest!
Myself and my boyfriend bought our first house together at the start of the year, it needed quite a bit of work (including extensive damp proofing, replastering throughout, complete redecoration and a new fitted kitchen!) so we didn't move in until last month, and we are still living in one small room with a bed, a sofa, old smelly carpets, no tv (we have a DVD player though) and only a microwave to cook with. We don't even have running water except in our shower which is barely a trickle and our bathroom sink which is tiny, so we feel homeless! Eating every meal off paper plates using plastic cutlery, not being able to wash our own clothes, everything being covered in dust and dog hair - plus havin to decorate every single night is having such a strain on our relationship!
For the first few weeks it was novel, kind of exciting even. Now I want to punch him half the time! The other day I even went as far as packing a bag for him to move out an throwing it at him!
Apparently I moan at him for everything (which is true because I'm stressed) and so he feels the need to lie about silly things (told me he was at the shop when he was really at a mates house to pick up some xbox stuff) - lying is my ultimate hate so I packed his stuff. He was genuinely sorry and I felt horrible that he felt the need to lie about something a simple as going to a mates for half an hour.
We had another huge blow out at the weekend because he had a hangover, it was a lovely day and I wanted to do something nice like take the dog to the beach, whereas all he wanted to do was sleep. He suggested I go with my friends, whereas the full reason I wanted to go was to have a nice day out with him, since we are both so stressed and are unable to spend any quality time together just now!
We also can't go out for long at all because the dog hates being confined to one room himself, and the rest of our house isn't safe for him, so effectively we are trapped!
I'm stressing about work too as I am finding out if I am being made permanent in my job soon, I am definitely moving school but we can't pay our mortgage unless I have a full time job, and as I have just qualified there is no certainty that will happen!
Oh, and I thought I might be pregnant this month because of how horrible my pms symptoms are - but no, I am just having a horrible period.
Sorry just had to vent!
