He REALLY hates this issue.

I spend a lot of time thinking about this thing “getting hit on”. It’s an odd thing. Don’t get me wrong I don’t mind the obvious compliment that it is, in a way, but it also often makes me (and I’m sure other women) uncomfortable. And I also don’t really understand what the point is. Do men really think a woman is going to respond to “mmm. you are hotttt.” I mean, even if we wanted to respond, what on earth would we say? What are men hoping we’ll say? Are they just saying it for themselves? Is it a power play? Is it to make them feel like real men…to validate themselves in some way and it has nothing to do with us? Is it because they’re desperately hoping for a date and have no idea how to go about getting one (hint, gentlemen this is NOT the way). The whole thing confuses the hell out of me.
This is SO sad. Just a few short months after my blissful discovery, and a few short weeks after I told the world (er uh, you guys) about it, and it has vanished like so much mist. The snoring is not constant, thank goodness, but man is it an adjustment to go from blissful silence to occasional abrupt loud ass log sawing right next to you. It doesn’t help that I’m a terribly light sleeper and Adam is a terribly deep sleeper. Oh woe is me. Suggestions? Other than not bragging anymore of course…
Boy, this is a really true one. I should mention that Adam never wants me to sleep on the couch, but I take longer to cool off and longer to “get over it” so I usually sleep out there with a gloom and doom attitude which only serves to piss Adam off more…which is probably a little bit of the reason I do it too.
The reality is that I just have trouble sleeping next to someone when things are really truly going awry, it kind of seems like a lie and I’m not good at it. We’re getting better though. We’ve definitely learned it’s better to fix things immediately rather than sleeping on it. If I sleep on it I tend to get even angrier, rather than cooling off…which is eternally frustrating for both of us, but mostly Adam
Sidenote: I think almost every comic this week used the tag CRAPTASTIC, which is a word I love, but it makes me feel like these comics have possibly been downers…I’ll try to lighten ’em up for next week…promise!
This one is true too…he was actually already in his jeans by the time I caught him, but the idea of drawing someone putting on jeans made me want to hurl…thus you get a pair of socks in his hand. I sometimes want to be Adam because when he sleeps it is just like the world is dead to him…yeah, it’s like the blissful sleep of the dead…however, I don’t want people chuckling at me at 3:00am (even if it is in love) so perhaps I’m better off as the light sleeper and he’s better off as the heavy sleeper…since he doesn’t seem to care about anything except getting back in the bed. I should start an ongoing series called “Nocturnal Adam” or something…
