I’m the third in our relationship. They are married, and so their dynamic is different. I understand that and most days I can distance myself from them when they are having a bad day with each other.

G, the wife, is bipolar and being SO FREAKING EXTRA today. I almost can’t take it, and I’m not even the target of her rage today. She “mad” at R, the husband, because he left her alone to sleep on the couch and didn’t wake her when I cooked. WHICH IS WHAT AHE TOLD HIM TO DO!!! She said, “All I want to do today is take my drugs and sleep. So when I’m asleep don’t wake me up unless it’s an emergency.” THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HE DID!!! Now she’s stomping around the house complaining and throwing a fit that she’s hungry. Bitch....I cooked. There is still some in the kitchen. Get off your ass and go warm you some food.

Now, being the calm one in the room. I offer to cook her anything she wants. She could ask for literally anything and I would get up and cook it right now. She snaps at me and says, “No! You didn’t wake me either and I’ve been hungry all day! I’ll get my own food!” 🙄 alrighty then.

Now he and I are in in different rooms on different ends of the house. There are at least three rooms and a hallway between me and the two of them. It’s been like that for a couple hours now. He said he needed to go into his office and do some stuff. She exploded again because she feels like he would rather be at the back of the house with me. My door is shut, and while his office is nearby there are still two rooms between us. We ain’t back here getting freaky. I’m doing my thing and he’s doing his.

So what do I do? I put down what I was doing to relax on my day off to come sit in the same room as her so she would know he and I aren’t talking or anything. Now she’s she ranting because I came in here like she can’t be in a room alone. I said, “ok I’ll go back to my room”. NOPE! Now she thinks no one wants to spend time with her.

Days like this are so trying.
