Ms Rocket is always a running commentary of what she’s doing and what she’s thinking about.

I used to enjoy the conversation, but it’s gotten old.

All I want to do is read when I’m relaxing.

NOW, GET OFF MY LAWN!

Today was my birthday. She bought me a pack of rechargeable AA batteries and a book by an author I have never heard of.

Thinking about it, she has never gotten me a Christmas or birthday present that I thought was special in the 11 years we have been together. But she expects diamonds.

Hmmm. Time to rethink this relationship.

We have a dear friend however who is the mistress of the rambling story. We have been friends for over four decades and I love her dearly, but at times one has to make guess as to where the story is headed and make the leap. Her husband is a man of amazing patience. Then too he is a bit deaf.

So she treats you like an 8 year old?

It is all a test to see how much bs you will take to get some. To see how much you love them. Now it takes being a black lesbian woman today to figure this out.

Certainly not!

Since she spent 25 of those years teaching grade 6, she treats me like a hormonal 12 year old.

That would have been my first wife! Neither the present wife nor I wear any kind of rings or bracelets.

She rearranged my room that day I didn't see that wallet again until my mom gave me a box of my stuff she'd run across 15 years later (all of the cash had been removed).
I have really, really bad eyesight.

This is one of the best things about moving out and living alone.

If I forget where I placed something I only have to retrace where I might have set it down.

If someone else moves it, game over.

If someone tells me an item is there, and I think I already looked, I go look there again.

I relate to this.

For me, my single largest grain of contention with females; I know why they do it. "What are you thinking?" - this single question is like a retro rocket firing non stop in error resulting in improper re-entry angle and a burnt to crisp payload. I'll have a vague idea that what I was thinking was either important or unimportant, but not much beyond that.

I suspect she has made some progress with me. MR2, Miata, and Porsches are now in the past. The closest thing to a toy now is the Mercedes C 4 Matic. Colour me staid.

Throw out an entire tube of toothpaste because the stuff in the end dried up from not closing the top properly?

20 Years of marriage and when we leave the house together, she will invariably have to go back inside at least once more before leaving home. It used to drive me insane sitting in the hot Houston sun waiting for her to reappear. Now, I wait with keys in hand until she walks out the door, wait 30 seconds and then head out. Its now a 50/50 whether she comes back inside. Baby steps.
