"FEELINGS. Jesus" - said with utmost loathing..
( Sidebar - after a few years of cohabitating with a male, have come to the following understanding.
Acceptable feelings - a) i'm FEELING hungry b) I'm FEELING sleepy c) I FEEL like uhmm.. passing various bodily functions which we shant get into in a family site.
Unacceptable feelings?Everything else.)
"Ugh" some dramatic shudders here "If I wanted to sit and listen to garbage about feelings - I might as well have sat at home and listened to yours"
Ah the romance of it kills me sometimes.
