Have you ever been in the room with your polar opposite?
A person so different from your you-ness they were the anti-you?
No matter what you thought they think the contrary is better?
This is Peter Pan and I.
The kryptonite to my superman.
The joker to my batman.
The eruption to my Vesuvius.
Since this is my blog I am the protagonist, which means you root for me.
He being my antithesis is the antagonist, thus you "boo" him.
Got it? Good!
I love him. I love him like fat people love food. Like ugly people love sex with the lights off. I cannot imagine a day that I don't want to share with him how dull and mundane my day was.
That being said.
I also loathe him. I loathe him like mouth breathers loathe books. Like HBO loathes TV series with more plot than sex. I cannot imagine a day where I don't wish to plant m-80's in his orifices and watching him pop.
The very reasons for both dual emotions are as follows:
Love him for being a limitless well of talent- any instrument, paint, draw, sculpt, sing... All art is his bitch.
Hate him for needing constant affirmations that he is talented.
Love him for being a child-spontaneous, silly, happy go lucky, genuine, lover of anything marked for 3+.
Hate him for needing a parent (me), never planning ahead, naivety, lost in his field of daisies, avoidance of thought provoking anything.
Love him for wanting something to love him, need to help others, want to be liked, big ambition.
Hate him for keeping a petting zoo, putting others before himself or me, need to please others, never finishing anything.
I think you all grasp the tip of this iceberg.
True story I came home the other day from work: no greeting of dogs. Hmmm where are they? O locked in the bedroom!
"Honey why did you lock all the dogs in the bedroom?"
"O I don't know what happened but I couldn't get the door open so I left."
"Did you walk them before locking them securely in our room?"
"No I forgot."
"How long have we had dogs?"
"6 Years?"
"Yes.
And how many times do they potty a day?"
"Three or four times?"
"Correct!
Why is today any different?"
You see this conversation was going no where fast.
This is what I'm talking about. Every day is a new "adventure" of how can we make today suck? Or what random non normal human behavior can I exhibit today. Or my favorite lets make J scream into a pillow and bloody his face on a door frame.
I am reason and logic. He is chaos and pandemonium.
I am discipline and tried and true. He is wanderlust and road not made yet.
I am planning and forethought. He is look at the right now and ram the wall don't try the door.
I am not sure of the point of this anymore because I have been multitasking with this and my big goober man-child husband. I do know he often suggests we adopt. I firmly explain I already have. He has yet to buy a clue.
Maybe one day we can come together on a level of sameness but for now I know how I will die. By driving my car off a ledge after dealing with my husband who has been on Craigslist all day looking at puppies because one of our current dogs is getting old.
I should have known better. The nerd never dates the homecoming queen. It goes against nature.

Any of you love to hate your spouses?
