High Maintenance Girlfriends
i’ve always known that i’m a high-maintenance girlfriend.
not high maintenance like the moneysucker type, or high maintenance like the jealous-girlfriend type, but high maintenance like .. the hard-to-please type.
wait that came out wrong; i’m not really hard to please at all! okay, maybe it’s more like, you-must-spoil-me-or-we’re-SO-splitting-up.
yeah!!! that’s exactly it!!!
… that’s not really a bad kind of high maintenance, is it? i mean the worst i’ve ever done was pout and throw tantrums until my boyfriend took leave from work to spend the day eating icecream and watching DVDs with me. so his stupid boss didnt like it. so what. romantic cuddly days like that are important, especially when you and your significant other havent been spending alone time together a lot!
actually, i bet my exes will have a lot of Su Ann Is High Maintenance stories to tell. but i dont understand why everytime i ask them -
“hey. do you think i’m high maintenance?”
they say -
“no laaa, you high maintenance meh?”
“how about all the times i make you get out of bed in the dead of night to go eat porridge?”
“that’s not high maintenance ..”
“what about when i made you skip work to spend time with me!”
“i wanted to do it anyway..”
“what about when i shoved your head under the covers and then farted and then demanded you stay there for a whole minute or else i’d never love you again?!”
“that was a bit horrible but ..”
“am i high maintenance?!?!?!”
“no laaaa. cute wat, your quirky little demands. you know i love you so much.”
and thennnnnnnn right, when the relationship is over, this is what happens!!!!!
“OMG you were so damn demanding man … (insert name of new gf) is like an angel compared to you!”
@#%#(*%&*#&%(*#% i hate exboyfriends. what happened to demands being cute, huh? huh?!?!
today i met someone for lunch and he was telling me how his girlfriend is kinda possessive - with slight privacy-invading tendencies like checking his mail and not allowing him out with girls and stuff like that. i was just so appalled. i mean it’s one thing if he doesnt mind, but he DOES mind, and if that’s the case, how can the relationship be healthy?
so i was just sitting down and wondering to myself, which is worse, the kind of demanding that i am, or the kind of demanding that my friend’s gf is? mine may seem kinda harmless on the surface, and the boyfriend doesnt mind, but in the end it all just boils down to me wanting to be spoilt a lot by the bf. Friend’s GF on the other hand, does that because she cares a lot and cant bear the thought of losing her boyfriend. so doesnt that make her demands .. well, kinda pardonable?
there’s this other high maintenance gf that i know, she’s a good friend of mine, and VERY possessive of her boyfriend - to the extent that the reason we’re good friends now is because she added me on MSN one day asking me why the hell i stuck my tongue out at her boyfriend in school. hahaha she’s so cute. but anyway, she makes him do stuff like write ‘agreements’ about how he promises to never contact or meet specific girls ever again, and then she posts it online for everyone to see so that he keeps to his promise. and i’m like. wow. that is the high maintenance to beat all high maintenance!
okay my rambling is getting a bit off. this post should have been better constructed but a craft project calls my name, so i’m going to go sniff some UHU glue now.
anyway : bottom line. or bottom question, whatever. what is high maintenance to you?
