What Pisses Me Off
To be honest, I had fun in Texas visiting Dolly and meeting the people she knows out ther until last night. Last night, she comes into the room me and Pam are in and basucally accuses us of only hanging out with one another, constantly ditching her, and making her feel completely left out and abandoned when "she wanted to spend this time with us."
There’s more to the whole thing, and I’ll go into it in later entries, but honestly, the more I think about it, the more I believe that her whole rant at us was done simply because she ewas pissed off at other people, but we were convenient targets because she didn’t want to tell the other people off for whatever reason. It seriously pisses me off, because she said she’d felt like this for days, and yet she doesn’t mention anything until last night, when it”s too late for either of us to do anything to make it up to her, if in fact, there was anything for us to make up to her. And she claimed that she didn’t say anything because she didn’t want to ruin things or something like that, and because "she’s not good with confrontation." Plus, that when I said she should have said something earlier so that we could make it up to her, she flat out said she didn’t beleive I would, because I was "always doing stuff like this."
A) Well, thanks SO MUCH for acknowledging that I’ve changed in the past eight years! For crying out loud, we haven’t seen one another since 2001 before this week, and we sure as Hell didn’t know one another then!
B) All right, fine. She doesn’t want to acknowledge that I’ve changed, that covers one of us. What about Pam? What, just because she and I are talking as actual friends instead of friends through a friend, she’s put into the same category that Dolly considers me in? ie- the whole, "Oh, even if you did know about this, you wouldn’t have done anything to fix it, cuz you’re always doing this stuff."
It pisses me off that she condemned Pam like that, too. And what makes me think that she’s just projecting her anger at others onto us is that after things settled down, she talked about how on her wedding day, this girl named Kelli had her hair done, (fifty freakin’ dollars to have her hair curled. I mean, c’mon! Put some curlers in, use some hair spray and there you go, it’s free.) Well, I guess when Kelli went to pay, it turned out there wasn’t enough money on the card, and she got all pissed at her husband, this guy named James, because of that. (It’s his card.) And she was getting all pissed at James for not telling her how small of a max they had on that card, etc., etc., and instead of telling her off and saying how irresponsible it is of them to constantly max out their cards, she comforts Kelli. Then, later, even though she knows, and says that James always gets the sh*t end of the stick because of Kelli, Dolly tells him to tell her how gorgeous she looks and everything so things’ll stay peaceful.
Then the next day, I guess this one girl was flipping out about things with her husband and son, and again, instead of saying something to her, or just telling her to go the f*ck away, Dolly says nothing. And that night, she comes and claims that me and Pam have been so terrible, and then she goes on this tangent about how horrible I’ve treated Rob while we were there.
It’s BS. It truly is. And I’m telling her this, too. And I will personally site all the times that Pam or I or botrh of us hung out with her. Or when she or I or both of us t5ried to include ourselves into conversations or whatever that Dolly was having with the ones she knows down there, who, might I add, Pam and I have only met in person that week.
The whole thing pisses me off, and I know it’s shown today. But honestly, I’m glad I’m home. I got so Goddamn sick of Dolly telling me I had to marry Rob. She doesn’t live with him. She doesn’t know how much of a child he actually is. I refuse to stay with someone who doesn’t have any single shred of common sense! For instance, today, Pam and I were at the airport at Subway, getting some food for the three of us. She went back to get some change from her bag and she comes back, saying that the flight is boarding, we had to go. Now, Rob was at the gate, with our stuff. Both of us had cell phones. Him and Pam, I mean. Does he think to call Pam’s phone? Nooooooo…. He thinks he doesn’t have Pam’s number! So instead of turning his phone on to even check, he just stands there like a moron! I seriously wonder what he would have done if we hadn’t gotten back there. I mean, seriously, how stupid can a person be? He should have checked his phone. He should have had us paged. Anything but just standing there doing nothing. Yet that’s all he did. Stood there, doing nothing.
Then earlier, I swear, the only reason I held my tongue is because Pam is here until tomorrow. Rob said something about, "don’t talk to me like I’m an idiot." My mental, (and almost verbal,) response? "As soon as you stop acting like one, I’ll be glad to."
I have no patience for stupidity, I have no patience for someone not being honest, and I sure as Hell have no patience for anger being projected onto me and somene else when other people are the ones who should be told off.
It’s amazing to me how some people are like that-they won’t confront other people who SHOULD be confronted, but they will go off on you..I’m sorry she had to ruin your fun time

I think I would feel the same way, and you can’t marry someone unless it is absolutely right for you. I will keep you in my prayers.

Okay. First off..I’m happy that you did get to visit Dolly. I know you have missed her. But I’m sorry the visit did not go as well as you expected. I hate to say this, but she has no right telling you who you should and should not marry. You have lived with Rob, you know him, you know what he is like 24/7. She only got to spend time with him for a short visit. If you have these resentment feelings

toward Rob now, you should never walk down that aisle with him. I know you know that because you called off the engagement. It was the best thing to do for both you and Rob. End it before it went any further. As for the rest of the trip, I’m sorry. People change. I know exactly what you mean by this entry because I experienced a similar situation when I went to visit Carmin in Virgina a few months

ago. It just did not work out how I expected it would. She was in her environment and I was out of place. It made me anxious and it was all in all a weird visit. Now I wait for her to visit me. But anyway..I wish I knew what to say. But I bet you are really glad to be home *lol* Oh..Matt & I are having a Halloween Party on Friday November 2nd at 7:00 if you want to come. Let me know!

Um, my anger at you was just at you. I’ve had my outs with Kelli and Whitney, who at least own up to their faults. I only lopped Pam in with my anger towards you because she was kinda following your lead and had the grace to at least recognize what had happened and apologize for it. forgive me for not wanting to argue on my wedding day or leading up until then.

And while jokingly saying, “you should marry Rob,” the seriouslness meant in it is that you really do treat him like crap and don’t give him half a chance. Do you realize that a bunch of the things you find fault with in him are things you’d atrted saying about Mike and about Jason? I was just basically begging you to quit writing him off, while still expecting him to tote things around for you

…or open his wallet for you (which you claim is empty, anyways). And you know what? Why shouldn’t I have been angry with you? If you didn’t want to be around him, why did you drag Rob to my door? Should I not have gotten angered on his behalf? Should I not be angry that my maid of honour was too busy shopping and singing musicals to be there with me when I needed her?

And when did you have a chance, really, to feel left out amongst my friends here? I didn’t really see much of them until the wedding, and what you did see of them, you, Pam, and I talked over them with all of our funny nad embarrassing stories! I’ve been dealing with people telling me I neglected them in favor of you two, which I warned everyone would happen!

Sorry, as DN2 put it, “I ruined your fun time.” Your fun time which was my f***ing wedding! If it’s any consolation, you helped ruin mine as well. Lastly, had you behaved in any way differeently than I had ever known you to, I’d have credited you with it. I had been saying I thought that last talk we’d had had mended things and been crediting you with handling it better tahn you ever…
Warning Comment
..would have previously, but that was obviously giving you too much credit. I’m going to agree with…Mealnie?…on the whole, “Don’t marry Rob if you have resentment feelings” thing. Sage advice. But you should also quit making any kind of commitment to guys, having them move in with you , when you only endup with those same resentments and close-quarters issues.

You really, also, shouldn’t have your mom buy your cast off an expensive plane trip to a friend’s wedding if you don’t want to be any where around him or have no hope for any kind of relationship with him. Esp. when he could have been home studying to make a life for himself without you, as you profess to want him to have–are pushing for him to have.
Warning Comment
Ya know what? Just have it your way. I’m tired of arguing with everyone, esp. you. So have it your way. Be right, as you always have to be. Never admit to being wrong. I’m a horrible friend who ruined your ‘vacation,” by paying for your hotel rooms and faire tickets, and having the poor taste to feel left out when you and Pam walked off, repeatedly and never once looked back to see if I was

still looking at something; for allowing you to dominate my computer for hours on end of “Wicked” and not getting pissy with you for kicking the cords out of the surge protector (accidentally, mind you, but it caused Zeb that humorous “breaking technology” frustration)or playing around in our computer’s internal files; trying to keep your newset ex from feeling unwelcome….
