Ok. My partner of four years is just cranky; she has been cranky since we first got together but now it’s worst. She is in her 50’s so she is a few years older than me. When I’m with her, I feel everything I do or say to her is wrong. We don’t live with each other ( she has her house and I have mine). Granted, she is cranky with her family as well. I’m the kind of person that I’m more relaxed find things funny and I feel like she’s more military.

And the sex…well that too has declined dramatically! I’ll be lucky to get that once a week and when I do, it’s not even interesting anymore.

She says she’s stressed due to the house in the new job, which I understand. But there’s no way that a person can be this cranky so much so often and everything I do or say is incorrect. Every restaurant I recommend she doesn’t like. There has also been times where I have suggested something and she did not want to do it or did not agree. Someone else will suggest the same thing and she would agree and say it’s a good idea.

Today I was at her place. I have brought my lawnmower and did her lawn. Usually when I cut it, I’m not the kind of person to pick up the leaves that are scattered around. She knows I hate doing your maintenance, but I do it for her. It’s very windy so the wind was taking it anyways. On top of that, it was not even much; usually in less than an hour, it’s gone. Could I have done better? Sure I agree. Maybe if I bought a blower it would be easier but I don’t use that so I have not invested in one.

So instead of thanking me for cutting the grass, she gives me an attitude about leaving the pieces of grass on the sidewalk. Now I could understand this, ok I get it. For me the problem was the way she conveyed the message. Just with a very bitchy attitude and rude sarcasm. Instead of telling me like “hey, keep picked that up because I don’t like it?” it was more like “ are you serious? Imagine if I walked out and I had seen that mess!” But she says this in such a rude way, which makes me feel that she believes I am beneath her, or I should bow down to her when she commands.

I just walked out and came home. Forget about that. Anyways, just venting.

Let me know what you guys think of this.

I was fired by the state for being “dishonest” they said. Which was a lie fabricated by one of their employees who didn’t like a friend of mine. They dismissed us both…Total F’ing BS!

I applied for unemployment and at first TWC were fighting me on the claim. I had to call them consistently when I finally was able to reach the investigator. I explained to her exactly what had happened. She informed me she would have to contact my previous employer with this new information and they would make a decision. This was Monday and today is Thursday. 30 days after I filled my claim, now the funds have been awarded to me by unemployment.

I had a solid résumé for the past 20 something years and this incident (I feel) took away from my good employment history.

My question is this. Does this mean the company was wrong? Does it show they did lie about me? Because if it were true, my benefits would not have been approved I’m assuming.

What are your thoughts?
