So we having nothing else to stress out about, apparently. Last night we really took a turn into the ridiculousness.
Summary: we only had one towel in our bathroom yesterday morning. Last night I noticed we two. I remarked on this observation (big mistake). Sybil stated yes, we have towels in the clean clothes bag that is located in our closet. Then everything became circular. Her statement only said we had towels in the clean clothes bag not the bathroom (begs the question of why didn't she just put all of the clothes up?). Finally, she commented that she put a towel in the bathroom. Kind of a stupid conversation. Typical misunderstanding: one person thought their statement was clear, and the other person was not understanding how the statement was pertinent.
Sybil stated that I am becoming worse. I do not listen to her. Since I do not listen to her, that means I do not REALLY love her. Naturally, her statement made me go into Silent Treatment mode. How do I respond to the hyperbole? All I feel is anger at the craziness of this conversation. To keep me from JADEing and engaging her in a circular argument, I keep silent. Sybil remarks on this. Finally, I say this was a simple misunderstanding, I should keep my statements to myself, and I cannot believe she is engaging in this hyperbole (I did use this word; I'm not sure she knows what it means.). I go to "sleep", which really I lay there stewing in frustration.
This morning I am about to leave. We talk a bit about work. As I am leaving, I ask her is there anything else we need to discuss. Sybil makes the statement, "Nothing else about the office". Naturally, this means we need to delve into why I don't love her because I did not understand her, which means I did not love her. To which, I replied, "We can talk about towels this afternoon."
Good times.

Hey, Aphron. Good to see you still rambling about these parts... although sorry it appears not much has changed, haha. Hope you are well.
Hey Taja,
I thought you stopped the whole blog thing. I think I deleted you off my blogroll. If you're still active, let me have a link to your blog, so I can add it. Thanks.
Not much has changed with Sybil. To change, one has to see there's a problem that needs changing. I've started changing. I know there is a problem. I'm working on what I can work on.
This blog was always a journal to document and "noodle" my situation. Who knows someone may discover it and learn from it.
I'm not blogging anymore, just poking around. I wish I had just made my blog private, instead of deleting it. It's been 13 years since I created it... and I learned nothing during that time. :) I come by to read your posts every now and then. This is the cruelest thing I've said in awhile, but it makes me feel slightly better about myself and my situation to see that there's at least one other soul out there still battling the same battles year after year. Cheers, friend. May our tides change soon.
