MY ONLY PET PEEVE

avatar

For someone who hardly gets angry, it's often difficult to get on my nerves, so if for any reason a person successfully gets me angry it's because I have intentionally become vulnerable to them. Currently, the only person that has such access in my life are my parents (my mum especially), my siblings, and my girlfriend. As close as I am to my friends, I don't give them the access to annoy me. And if for any reason they do, we would talk about it. A friend of mine who's currently living at my place is very scattered, it's hard for him to put his things together, and I've tried severally to put his things together only for him to end up scattering them.

He hardly washes the dishes except he wants to cook, and if I'm, to be honest, these actions of his can be very annoying to just anybody, but they don't really piss me off that much. I just have it at the back of my mind that it's my house, and I have to keep it clean. Bearing that I do the cleaning and all without any form of anger because now I'm not expecting anything from him. He's not much of a talker neither am I, so we hardly talk and if paraventure I come back home to meet the house scattered, I would arrange it if I have the strength to, and if I don't, I will leave it for when I have the strength. Sometimes he would sleep with heaps of sand on the bed, I wouldn't mind, but just dust off the part I'm going to be sleeping.

But you see the person that pisses me off and has been doing so without remorse is that lady I call my girlfriend. She's often busy with work as a fashion designer, especially now that the festive season is at hand her table is quite full. For this reason, she hardly picks up or returns my calls. I don't really give a shit if someone else does this, but once I give you access to my heart and you do this I can go mad. But then the issue I have is that once she drops a message, boom. The whole anger is gone without any explanation. Now this too pisses me off and started making me feel she was doing it on purpose. One day I decided I wouldn't call to see if she would notice, I was so pissed at the whole thing and decided I wouldn't call her for five days.

On the fourth day, she started complaining that I had decided to abandon her, by the time she was done laying her case against me, I went back to begging. But guess what, she continued; like I should understand she's busy and I'm free 24/7 with nothing to do with my life. Anyway, I wouldn't want to bore anyone with the things going on in my life, but this is the annoying cycle I find myself in.

I think you both should sort it out through talking. And I mean really talking. If there is anything I have learned, a line can go a long way.

Like one time last week, I had so much on my plate for a project my boss gave me and had to wake up at 5am to start. I worked till midnight and during that whole time, my phone was on DND. For two days this happened.

We talked during the weekend and he made it clear how much he did not like it. Relationships are all about sacrifice and understanding. I put myself in his shoes and decided to always send him a quick message daily. It has worked so far especially with my schedule.

So maybe you guys really need communication and I mean, not just one person taking (or begging 😂) but actually you both reaching a common ground

Yeah a very valid point this is, there's a place for understanding and a place for compromise. Thanks for dropping by...

I am really not compatible with people who don't like a clean environment, how will not be able to put your things together as an adult.

School life has taught me to be accommodating to even those who don't deserve it
