That may be false in part of the United States.

Or for criminal attorneys in general. Jails are fucking gross.

We're both more likely to be assaulted on average, though!

@Sunny I know all these feels. Thank the gods my housemate is a young, strong guy. He never even bitches when I ask him to grab the heavy stuff out of the car so I don't have to make a crap ton of trips.

My brain still doesn't like to think about why/how to ask for help.

Me: “So, I did all the errands, but they were out of brownies. So I got cheesecake.”
Her: “Oh.”
Me: “ ... “
Her: “I told you to get cupcakes if they didn’t have brownies.”
Me: “When?”
Her: “When we were at the Christmas show with the kids.”
Me: “ ... “

Being in a committed relationship is like death by a thousand fucking paper cuts. I want to scream and shout, but the fuck I’ll take some karaoke and bourbon.

Edit: I don’t do favors for anyone else. I don’t. I’m not a servant or a slave. Be damn grateful if your partner does your errands for your office party, people, especially if they can do everything else around the house without you.

Requesting cupcakes over cheesecake is grounds for divorce.

"Was it on my list?" Well, no. "Then it wasn't requested properly. If you want it, put it on the list."

Sometimes sleeping on the couch is worth it.

Ganymede

@Tinuviel

It’s not that.

It’s that her comment puts me in a bind.

If she said anything about cupcakes, I missed it. But I didn’t hear it. If I heard it, why the fuck would I get cheesecake?

I tried to reach her. Called her phone twice. Nothing. Why? She was bathing the kids. Perfectly reasonable.

So either she’s a liar and didn’t say shit? Or I am forgetful, but I don’t remember hearing shit. And am still the asshole.

Why say anything? No reason, unless she wants to start a fight. And starting a fight with me is instant death. She may have been a lawyer once, but I still am.

It’s fucking irritating. Just say nothing. No one will care at the office. This just invites a fight.

Macha

@Ganymede If you were at a Christmas show with the kids, you may have been legit distracted. And I love cupcakes, but fuck them if I can have cheesecake.

God help you, you're with another lawyer?

I admire your conviction.

And will pray for your soul.

One day to decide the insurance crap for the next year, and it's more confusing than ever.

We were supposed to have time to look all of this over -- like, at least a week or so -- when they gave the info packet to my husband YESTERDAY.

TODAY, they tell us they need it TOMORROW.

Holy crap has it been a hell of an awful day, and it's barely 7am.

Auspice

I deal, sometimes, with severe pain and weakness in my legs. No idea why. Times I've seen doctors for it in the past they do tests (examination, MRIs, etc etc) and come back with a big shrug.

It's just this terrible, intense pain that sometimes gets bad enough all I can do is lie there and remind myself to breathe until it passes.

I've been lucky enough to not have an episode in quite a while, but for the past week it's been bad and getting progressively worse. I've had times where this drives me to need a cane until it passes and I really hope that isn't the case this time.

IT came to fix my work computer this morning and ended up taking off with it. Now I'm just sitting here like a stump twiddling my fingers; there is literally nothing I can do without it. Baaaaaah.

In my personal experience it isn't that she is lying. It's that she thought it, meant to say something, got distracted, and then remembers that she did even when she didn't.

You'll still be accused of not listening even if you can repeat back the rest of the conversation verbatim.

Ganymede

@WildBaboons

Then she didn’t say it. And if she says otherwise, that is false. And that is a lie.

A lie is not fraud. A lie is a lie.

This is how conversations between lawyers unfold.

Her: Are you saying I’m a liar?
Me: Yes.

Direct questions require direct answers.

Another fucking paper cut.

Lies require intent. If you say what you believe to be true, then you're not lying even if what you say is not true.

This is how normal people speak.

Lawyers are not normal people.
