The chill explained: put up or shut up

The reason why I need this completed is because I need to know that Bruce can be responsible. I am giving up a lot to move so that he and I can build a life together and for some reason, this has become a thing. I’m fine with the idea that I am going to make a sacrifice or two for this, but I am not fine with having to be the sole responsible party here.  I need to know that he is going to do what he says he’s going to do and that I can depend on him.

I was talking to Willis tonight and she, being the best friend from forever and a day, knows things and can verbalize what is bugging me better than I can. What came of the conversation was the point that for the past 6 months Bruce has been rather vocal in his dislike for his job. He still says that he might stay, but to hear him speak, he’s already gone. Except, he has to do his resume. For 6 months. He has been saying. The. Same. Things.

When I went to go visit him he had almost no work to do except this one thing. And nothing.

We went away for the long weekend and he brought his laptop. I went on a three hour tour of a spa, leaving him with explicit instructions. And still nothing.

We returned to the city with both of us stating that he still really needed to do this one thing. And still nothing.

His co-workers have threatened to call me to goad, shame, and/or coerce him into doing this one thing. And still nothing.

So here I sit, knowing that he was totally aware of what I said. He knew I was entirely serious. And still nothing.

Maybe Bruce was all full of shit, the men, they occasionally are full of shit. Maybe he was just being whiny about his job, but if that is so, then there needs to be someone else to whom he moans, because the Girl, she has reached her breaking point.

Let’s have a lesson in how women think: I stated that I would refuse to speak to him until this was done and I had proof of it. He failed to meet my request. He clearly has no desire to speak to me. Considering that we speak three times a day, maybe what he’s really trying to say is that he’s just not that into me.

Whether my hypothesis is correct or not, is not really the point (just illustrating why girls are crazy) . The point is that Bruce needs to make up his mind…and he’s still in time-out.
