Frustration over others behavior is a never ending source of conflict for me. The best thing I can do is shut my mouth. My boyfriend, who I now live with and pay half if not more of the bills constantly complains about money. He owns three cars and has a lot of nice stuff he could sell, but he usually comes to me and bemoans his difficulties, which I resent, because 1. they are self inflicted, (he could get a job making a lot of $ if he really applied the effort to do so) and 2. I feel like he expects me to do something about it (which is the main theme in my life anyway). Meanwhile I work from dawn to dusk, and this person has time to sleep late and go work out. Well, when do I get to even take care of myself while this guy is out an about? I'm not saying he doesnt work. But he doesnt work as hard as I do then complains about it and treats me like crap.
The bottom line is I have to keep my mouth shut. I told him I was going to take some gold filled jewelry I own and sell it so I could go to an auction and buy things to sell to help us out. He demanded to know what other assets I had because he needed to know that. I told him I don't have to tell him everything I own, which isn't much, and that if he is that worried he should sell some of his things. He stomped out and is working out in the garage.
Not a smart move on my part because he will be a jerk all day. Which is not that much of a deal given he has been a jerk all week. Today is going to be a rough day.
