Had a good/sad conversation w/Sweetie last night on the way to HEB for
him to get wing stuff and me to get paper plates for boss day
luncheon at work today. My attempts at discussion are viewed by him
as attempts at manipulation, and that's apparently why he refuses to
deal with me when I ask for help with household things (housework,
bills, big projects that I really dread paying for by myself but he
won't address, so if I don't want the roof to cave in I get to go
into 10K worth of debt all by myself to get a new roof someday soon).
I don't know how to ask without having him shut me out...but at least
I know why he does it now. *sigh*

I am really thinking that Dave & Dave have the right approach:
they've been together 5 years happily and monogamously and Dave has
his house in the Heights and David has his apartment (condo?)
Downtown, and they dont' share household bills or responsibilities.
If I had it to do over again, that would be the way I'd do it.
