A Buzz

After visiting Palm Springs two weekends ago, ThumbSucker has the modern house buying buzz. 2Pay just returned from Palm Springs tonight, and brought brochures with him. Tonight, ThumbSucker is in love with the idea of buying a place down there. But to buy a place down there, he would need to sell the loft.

I reminded him of something he told me and several of his colleagues who sold their homes in San Francisco. "Once you sell, you can't move back, or it's very difficult to move back."

ThumbSucker and I also got into an excited conversation about laundry. The conversation was excited in that we both were passionate, but we were not yelling. My issue is that I do not want ThumbSucker to do my laundry. He's shrunk, discolored and misplaced too many items, and it frustrates me because I've told him on numerous occasions to not do my laundry. I understand and appreciate his good intentions. But why can he not listen and just not do my laundry? I just don't get it.

Also, I have to fight for alone time. He will not let me be by myself. Sometimes I want to lock myself into a room that he can not get into just so I could have time by myself... But his insecurities won't allow this.

...

I'm tired. I'm beat. The fact is that ThumbSucker did a lot of things early on in the relationship that he has not recovered from, and this continually taxes our relationship.
