Re: Happy Valentine's Day ... AAAGGGGHHHH - HELP!!
Even compromises are a nuisance... My Other is on the team as well, though he doesn't attend every hour of every meeting. Our Saturday meeting was from 9-5 so we made plans to go out to dinner Saturday night. Well, as it turns out, we had a chance of staying later on Saturday since the school was going to be opened later... No, I didn't change plans, I still left at 5 to go to dinner. We left my car at the school and just went in his car... and at dinner, over the calamari appetizer, I casually mentioned that when he dropped me off at my car I would probably go back to the meeting... which didn't fit in with his plans (plans, I might add, he dreamt up without consulting with me). Sigh. So after some wheeling and dealing (sometimes it feels like we're in a casino more than a relationship) we reached another compromise, which was made completely useless because by the time we got back to the school (and my car) at 7:30, the meeting was over (they thought the school was going to be open until 9 p.m. but were obviously wrong).
So the only thing we have to do today is exchange presents. I get home from work at 5:15, he gets home between 6 and 7. Our meeting tonight starts at 6:30. If he's home at 6, we'll open presents before I leave for the meeting, otherwise we'll open presents after the meeting, around 10. I did my best to convince him he wanted to give me my presents at midnight... and again at 8 a.m. but he didn't go for it...
