We want to hear all the sordid details!
Seriously, I think you should know all their habits before living with them.
My ex was jealous of my guitar playing, would complain that she had no hobbies... suggested I “grow up and stop playing the guitar”, I told her to tell that to Andrea Segovia! ... it should be noted that she started out as a groupie, she would hang out around the rehearsal space writing out all of our lyrics. Also I was making money as a guitarist and a teacher. She had been a poet when we met and it was her artistic spirit that attracted me to her, she stopped her writing and chose to attack my art instead, i’ve played guitar since I was 4, I was not going to stop for anyone, ...there you have a recipe for divorce... never sugest a musician stop playing because you can’t find a hobby, that was irritating. Had it been snoring or something I would have been fine.
HOLY SHIT THAT'S HEINOUS!!! and REALLY REALLY BIZARRE!
Although you know what? I had a very dear friend from childhood who was an accomplished, famous guitarist, as was his father. He had this GF who met, became enamored of him during one of their shows... FF she would make sarcastic remarks about him needing to "grow up" & "get a REAL job"!!! This guy used to make BANK giving lessons alone. Crazy.
She was a little rich girl who wound up cheating on him with an an older surgeon, old enough to be her father, so she was one of those.
To his credit, my friend was the kindest, sweetest, wonderful person and had no trouble attracting people. I miss him horribly. We had a pact when young that if we ever got old and happened to both be single, we'd marry each other. Unfortunately when i was "ready" to cash in on that promise, found out he'd passed away. We'd always considered each other soulmates. ...
@atheist Alls of 'em!!! heh
I'll give a couple... hidden alcoholism , passive aggression (which to his credit, was a familial inherited coping mechanism due to "squishing" feelings and not being able to express frustrations in a healthy, productive way. And that shit's contagious. I hated it and hope to never experience it again. I'll be VERY careful next time! If there IS one!
