- i'm not sure this is entirely about romance, but hey, it's in there
- somewhere & y'all seem to be pretty helpful, so here is.
-
- i'm in love. completely. the relationship is more than i ever dreamed
- possible. for a while, i was so cynical i had even killed my dreams off.
- fortunately, it didn't take much to revive them. love is grand, we're
- getting along fine & i'd like to brag a little, which explains the
- above.
-
- now, a snake in the garden. my father & i haven't had the best of
- relationships in the past. i'm well beyond the "dress in black & hate
- your dad" stage, but it still comes up now & again. every once in a
- while i'll talk to someone from back home & find out he's been saying
- downright slanderous things about me. mainly i just ignore him,
- except to tell people who ask that he's a genius (which is true) and
- that he sometimes acts like a 2 year old (also true).
-
- that approach works fine, but relationships make everything a bit more
- complex. i've recently found out that he's started including my SO in
- his gossip. he knows nothing about her except her name & the fact that
- we're together. somehow that doesn't deter him. i don't care when he
- talks about me. it makes him look like an idiot & if the poor man
- needs to get his jollies that way, so be it. likewise, my SO is self-
- confident enough that it doesn't matter much to her either.
-
- -however-, everything in me violently rebels at the idea of my father
- (one person in this world who should be -happy- about this) insulting
- the person i'm deeply in love with. it's such a twisted circumstance
- that i'm having a hard time comprehending it, much less dealing with
- it.
-
- is there anything i can do to forget about this? or at least vent my
- frustrations in a somewhat constructive manner? i'm starting to honestly
- dislike the man again because of this. i'd really rather not become
- to preoccupied with him, as it's a waste of time & makes me a slave
- to his actions. but i can't seem to get it out of my head that someone
- who should love me is instead ripping on someone i love.
