Good Ol' Co-Dependence

[John Junk 2.0]

Does anyone else go insane with anxiety and constantly dance on the precipice of total self-loathing and abysmal depression when their significant other goes out of town for the week?  Or is it just me?

It doesn't help that I have like $40 in the bank at the moment.

Is this a trust thing? I'm fine with the little lady leaving town, unless they go to Italy. The dudes are as forward as they are in Brooklyn, but actually good-looking and well dressed. Yikes.

Throw Vespa's into the mix and they can only be going there to cheat on you in the first place.

Yeah I don't like it one bit... with my ex I could care less when he left town or wasn't around after a while. With Greg I have trouble sleeping on the nights when he's not there. No anxiety just a general gloominess.

Because he rules.

Unless you found a Dear John Junk letter,

stay up late and have double dessert.

No, I trust her.  I guess she's got a lot of family stuff going on, and I'm wanting to be this force of stability, but instead I'm this broke-ass art dude who can't provide for his lady.  Gross.  Feelings.

[buffcoat]

Gross.  Feelings.

You should have those removed.

I've been the monied force of stability and the broke-ass art dude and neither worked. It's all in you.

Very true.  Time to splash some cold water on my face.

Oh! Then I'm with you. As a fellow broke-ass-art-dude, I have to put on the extra-fancy charming pants sometimes. But if she's in it for the long haul, she'll be there for you. I'm going to throw out the blanket statement and say that women just want to know that you're making an effort. If she can see that, she'll stand by her man.

But seriously, keep her out of Italy. All bets are off if that happens.

I've been out of town on business for a week and I'm going crazy. I get to go home tomorrow and I CAN'T WAIT to see my wife. I haven't had trouble sleeping or anything but I miss her. Not to mention that eating in restaurants every meal kinda sucks and drinking too much every night isn't helping my general sense of well-being either. Oh business trips, what am I going to do with them?

I need to go on a Tom-like business trip where I get to hang out with Paul F. Tompkins and see Jeff Goldblum in the grocery store.

Ha.  Yeah, not to worry: she's in semi-rural Ohio.  

[Spoony]

Oh Dear God. That's the only place that Vespa-riding Italians fear to send their ladies. The more semi-rural, the worse.

What this "sig-nif-icant other" you speak of in these lands?

[Gibby]

What this "sig-nif-icant other" you speak of in these lands?

Someone you ask for money from in times of trouble who is totally interest free.

When Joanna leaves town I find myself eating microwave burritos and sleeping a lot. I basically revert to how I lived when I was single, which is so depressing.
