I Am A Woman

I am a little miffed today. I am spending my morning cleaning. I've got the radio crankin' and normally I would be fine and danddy and good with that. But as I celan I know my boyfriend is going to come home strip his clothes an drop them on the floor right next to the laundry hamper. Then he's going to put on boxers and shorts. The shorts will also be on the floor in the morning. The boxers will be ont he floor of the bathroom next to yet another hamper after his morning shower and he'll eat dinner and leave his plate unwashed and unrinsed on the dresser. We only rent one bedroom in a home, there is very little space and he hates having to travers around. So I ask you why not put his shit in the hamper? Why not wash the dish and put it in the dish washer?

I have known this man forever. He has a wonderful family. All of them clean and well mannered, polite. And I live with someone who makes everything a pig sty, says "Ahhh" when he farts, and never not ever, even in public says excuse me when he burps. He took me to dinner last night and I had on heals, did my make-up, wore a cut dress with jeans to dress it down a little, and he came home and changed out of his suit and put on day old jeans and a t-shirt that showed years of washing. I literally could feel the room going, "what is she doing?"

I get it that men like to be free and I can find the humor int he body. But that doesn't mean you get to act like a neanderthal. I'm a woman, I'm a woman of taste, of manners, and of pliteness. We've only been dating 8 months, where's the courtship, where's the woo? Why am I suddinly someone who doesn't get common curtisy? Doesn't get her hand helt when we walk? When did I become the girl it was ok to walk twice as fast as and then complain at when I'm not right next to him?

Is there not any man out there that's polite? Clean? Complimentary? Treats a woman with respect? Doesn't ridicule every little move she makes from the way she eats to where she put the printer on the desk? And can find their way around a bedroom in a non 1950's manner?
