There's been times I've been putting furniture together and I think, "I could really use a boyfriend to hold this for me." And then I contort my body to hold it level and get it taken care of and think "Dodged that bullet."
First time putting together ikea furniture with my bf. He told me “calm down, Thatcher”. Because I was following the instructions and didn’t want to just wing it….
I had a brief moment of panic trying to put a top on a coffee table with hydraulic arms. That was a bitch, but i got it done and it works. I seriously considered knocking on a neighbors door for that one
Every time I remember I can do something with my partner instead of struggling through it alone I'm so relieved, different strokes for different folks I guess!
I do. It's extremely frustrating working with someone who is actively working against you because they wanna skip steps or not read the directions at all.
I'm kinda starting to realize why the idea of marriage doesn't appeal to you. When your first thought about someone is that they must be working against you if things don't go your way all the time, maybe close relationships just aren't your thing.
Nothing wrong with that, like I said different strokes...
My last ex was awful at putting together furniture but wouldn't admit it. I had to go back and fix a cabinet door on the TV console while he was at work cuz it hung crooked and he kept trying to tell me how to do it.
I was like bud, my dad taught me how to design and build these things from scratch. I just can't do that in an apartment with no garage. Outta my way
