Currently I’m sitting on an old gross chair in an old gross shop watching him work on his rig truck. It’s 10:30pm. You could say I’m not enjoying myself. Plus there’s barely service here.
I finally told someone else. Someone that is not him how I’m feeling. It’s always scared me so much. People see us as this amazing couple, I don’t want that to change. I don’t want people to think less of him because of how he’s treating me in this moment. He’s better than that and I’m scared they won’t ever see past it.
But I told someone. My best friend. His best friend? Our best friend. He was originally his friend, but we quickly became really close. He does a lot with us. Nobody sees us interact as a couple more than him.
He said he was surprised, but his tone said otherwise. He just keeps saying “oh” and “I don’t know what to say”. Yeah, me neither.
I told our friend that if he doesn’t start taking this seriously I don’t know what’s going to happen. I don’t even want to imagine a life without him, but I’m scared I’m going to have to.
Our friend just told me I act different when I’m with him versus alone. He says that I act less intelligent around him. I understand what he’s saying. I’m not upset by him saying it, I’m upset that it’s true.
Let’s get one thing straight. I have a fucking opinion. But I’m treated like I don’t, I’m treated like I don’t understand. I’m treated less intelligent. So I started acting like it. I gave up on trying to participate and the only way I can now get any attention from said boyfriend is by needing something. By needing him.
We’re leaving the shop now. This would be my cue to stop typing. I don’t want him asking me what I’m doing.
Thanks for listening to me, empty internet.
