Question by Dennis R: I am a prisoner in my own life.?
I didnt know where to post this so bare with me. My life has become a living nightmare. I wake up usually by one of the 9 illegal neighbours that choose to slam the door early in the morning. Then I go to school and deal with my professors mood swings as one of them is going through a nasty divorce and the other one has been trying to get pregnant for the longest time(I have no idea why she shares this with the class). When I come back home one of the neighbours decides to blast their music. Then I have to take care of the dog. Then I go to work where I depend on tips and there is always someone that decides to tip me nothing because something went wrong that had nothing to do with me. The owners of the place only show up for 2 hours a day just to shove my (pregnant) managers face into something that she hadnt had a chance to get done yet. They call this poor lady at 2am in the morning just because she might have forgot to do something. Then I come home, take care of the dog again and then take a gample on my girlfriend mood on that particular evening. One night she decides to not leave me alone and bug the hell out of me,when I ask for a little space, she gets pissed and starts snapping at me or better yet throws something, the other night she is a bitch for no reason and on any other she is broke and something is due tomorrow so I have to pick up the tab on more shit before we get evicted or something gets shot off. On top of all that wonderfull day my neighbours are insane, we have hard wood floors and they bang my ceiling everytime I walk across. Last night was my favorite as I have gotten up to go to the bathroom at 3 in the morning and they started banging my ceiling, 30 minuts later police showed because they said I was having a domestic dispute with my gf when in fact we were dead sleeping. Then I go to the gym as it is my only escape from becoming insane. I am 20 and I am completely fucking miserable. Does anyone elso share this lifestyle or am I just screwing myself over;. I see the life of other people and they get upset over minor things but yet I deal with something new and stressfull everyday. Any time I get a day off, I never get a chance to sleep in. I lost all of my friends over this lifestyle so I dont get to hang out with anyone anymore besides my gf that lives with me. I see other kids my age enjoying their life and I am in this daily grind, I havent had a vacation or even a decent holliday. Everytime we have a holiday my gf ALWAYS like a clock gets into a fight with me. I spent the new years with my dog alone as she decided to start an arguement over nothing. I honestly have nothing to look forward to anymore. I make good money and drive a new car that I bought using my own credit but thats about it, at least I am not in any kind of debt I guess. What the hell do I do with myself?

Gee, sounds like you need to step back and look for the Good! You have a job, a place to live, friends who care about you a girlfriend who is there for you. Family you need to reach out to others. Set goals for yourself. It’s a new year, If you don’t like what is happening in your life change it. Good Luck xox

I would keep the dog, lose the girlfriend and look for a better place to live. If she is making your life that miserable then you are better off without her. And it sounds to me that she is more than 1/2 of the reason your life sucks. If you didn’t have her to take care of you could probably get a better apartment.
See a therapist.
So… you work.. make good money… gf likes to fight, doesnt pay her own way …… your apartment sucks….. hmmmm this is easy.
Go find a bachelor pad close to a park for your dog….a better area that you wont have all these illegal disrespectful neighbours….it might cost a bit more but it will be worth it, then give your landlord his notice…. tell gf you have enough of her, she no longer brings joy into your life and when something no longer feels good… see ya……. and start over…
Your 20… and living like a crabby old person who hates his life….. so…. change it… tomorrow…. as soon as you get up.. its a new day… dont worry about gf… she will find someone else to mooch off of…. this is your calling…. I feel it…..
good luck
WOW
I feel bad for you.
k here’s some tips
- Leave your gf your suppose to be in a happy relationship where 2 people are totally in love and don’t always snap at each other so dump her.
- MOVE you don’t HAVE to live there so move somewhere else
- You’re young as hell go out, go to the bar
to the mall I don’t know do something new!
Start playing sports, dress up go on dates , meet girls, meet friends, have picnics
throw bbqs & parties, just think of 2009 as your new year YOUR NEW YEAR. new life. new people. new things.
trust me sitting down n complaining won’t do much.
Get up & do something about your life.
I mean comee onnnnnn
you can do better than that.
your gf is a loser no offence and your neighbours can screw off.
just leave her, move, join or start something new
at the gym talk to some girls or hang with some dudes
trust me, it’s better if u go to places and things you like because you’ll meet people with similar interests.
So yeah
you’re young
