Although I’m not sure why he thought he had any power in the beginning.

That’s One Hazardous Pod
“We are two pees in a pod.”
— Eric, in his anniversary card to me.
Spelling mistake unintentional.
But noted.
Listening to Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass”…
Me: “That’s YOU! You have ‘all the right junk, in all the right places.'”
Eric: “Yeah.”
(Pause)
Eric: “I have you. Right here.”
COincidence is JOincidence with a “C”
Dating and living with a type 1 diabetic has been very educational. I now have no problem recognizing the symptoms of a low blood sugar. When it happens, Eric becomes very quiet and unresponsive, his eyes glaze over, and he is just generally disconnected from what’s happening around him. And there is a very clear pattern to the timing of these episodes.
They happen whenever I start talking.
This is Entirely Healthy
Who told him?
When the Cat’s Away…
You Really Backed Yourself Into a Corner There
Eric: “I was going to make a joke on Facebook about how you’re now 2 years older than me again, but I didn’t think you’d want me to say your age on social media.”
Me: “Why wouldn’t I want you to say my age?”
Eric: “Well because…”
Me: “Because…??”
Eric: “Because…”
Eric Doesn’t Understand How Living Together Works
Me: “Ok I’m going to get a haircut, I’ll be back in a couple hours.”
Eric: “But wait, what am I going to do?”
Me: “I don’t know. Stay here? Go out? Either way, just generally continue to be your own person.”
(Long pause)
Eric: “I don’t understand.”
Well That Was Quick
Me: “I’m sorry I wasn’t more helpful with unpacking your boxes and suitcases today, but I have to run a half marathon tomorrow.”
Eric: “Yeah, and I have to stand in the cold to cheer you on tomorrow!”
And now he doesn’t live here anymore.
I’ll Admit I Could Have Been More Helpful
