He took his new girlfriend for New Year's Eve to the Boston Harbor Hotel- the same hotel where we stayed in the Romantic Harborside Room-- FIVE TIME-- obviously sleeping in the SAME BED. AND HE BOOKED ONE OF OUR FAVORITE RESAURANTS FOR DINNER, Sandrine's, in Harvard Square. How unorginal is he? Are all Akorri engineers this dense?
He will not read any of the reviews I write
He does not regularly read my web site
He will not read the relatively short children’s book [8 pages double-spaced] I spent many hours researching and writing (but he will give me plenty of advice on marketing and telling me it will not sell)
He says things to me like: “I like you but I think you’re going to collapse and die. You’re going to be eating out of dumpsters in two years.”
He tells me: “your actions can always disappoint me.”
He can list all the jobs I was fired from better than I can. He can't list ONE position I held that I liked [biotech company, HBS for first few years, MAH]
He walks five paces ahead and refuses to slow down.
When I say, “I love you,” he remains silent or says, “I know.”
He doesn’t list me as an emergency contact.
I am not programmed into his cell phone (or email) address book.
He does not remember my birthday although he’s known you for more than seven years.
When I start to talk he walks away if I don’t get right to the point in three minutes or less.
He compartmentalizes his life: family/work/you. Nothing blends/mixes/no one crosses paths.
He gets popcorn at the movies and doesn’t offer me any and also only gets a drink for himself.
He calls me a drug addict and I take prescription pills for anxiety, yet he downs AN ENTIRE BOTTLE OF WINE HIMSELF IN ONE EVENING, OR AT ONE MEAL. YET HE is NO an ALCOHOLIC?
He’s not affectionate. No hugging and definitely very few kisses. Never unexpected ones. I am more agressive sexually (not that there's anything wrong with that.)
He remembers five bad things I did and one good thing.
You tell him you got an article published in a well-known NY publication and he doesn't even congratulate me and actually sounds non-plussed about it.
He tells you that my liberal arts degree and masters in journalism degree are useless.
He says it is a waste of time to read novels.
