Mike's Gid

So I think I'm well on the way to getting this done when I notify my current boyfriend and what I thought would be a simple, easy conversation (because we have an open, honest and supporting relationship like that), but apparently the rules change when it's something he's not actually happy about.

Which takes me to my next point. I spent the next ten minutes entangled in a moaning discussion about the whole thing to finally be told 'I don't actually mind what you do'.

Which prompts me to think: if you didn't care what I did, you wouldn't have had me on the phone trying to persuade you that it's alright.

Now don't get me wrong, this niggle with James is current, but it's fleeting and certainly not major. It just has me thinking in the grander scheme of things.

I just hate being bullshitted, and everyone does it. Thinking they're sparing your feelings, people in one line make things a hundred times more complicated. Example: I work in a job where I'm constantly lied to - 'I don't have time to do the survey', 'I've done it before'. Fine then, your name will be double checked and you'll be called and annoyed again when it's found out that you haven't actually taken part. If you don't want to do the survey, just say so.

I'll repeat it again: Seriously guys, JUST COME OUT AND SAY IT!

You'll make life so much easier for myself, yourself and everyone else.

We can all do better.
