    Dear Partner:

    Grow a heart. Or at least some decency. I've had to cancel plans 2 of the last 3 weekends because you said you wouldn't need me, and then decided you did. Usually as you were walking out the door on Friday to enjoy your weekend. I canceled 2 dinners with my 85 year old grandmother this past weekend The last one when I had specifically asked you how long you would need me.

    Today - you emailed, and said I needed to plan to work late Tues and Thurs. OK. But now, I'm stuck at the office waiting on a client to send changes, and to then make all revisions while you're at home with your kid. I understand you're a partner in a large firm and therefore think you're the be-all, end-all for all things. But could you grow a little decency....

    Dear Nasty Protozoa,

    Thanks so much for being the uninvited guest in our yard and home. I really appreciate you attacking my doggies which resulted in the nasty gut reaction they experienced. So today it was Two for Monday at the vet.

    Next time, pick on a lower life form.

    Sincerely,
    Dog Ma

    Be careful what you wish for.

    Nothing yet.....but he's male....so he probably figures he still has 14 hrs of shopping time until this day is over!

    I'm not holding my breath though......last year (after our 2nd 'dating anniversary' came and went) I did exactly what Zencentury suggested....and went and bought myself a GORGEOUS diamond ring..... although now...I just look at it...and think...Man...that could have been a bit'chin bike payment!

    you bought YOURSELF a diamond?

    sorry; I must not have that gene.
    I told my DH that we could be engaged to be married but i didn't EVER want him wasting money on a diamond. And that was before I heard about the way they are mined.

    I hope the BF proposes, good luck with that!

    Do it, CA -- your job/partner/hours sound just horrible, and such a long commute -- ouch. Sounds like you're well overdue for a change.
