Don't put those shirts back in my room.
Where are you taking that ironing board?
Into the sewing room.
Why?
To press my shirts.
I don't want that in my room.
i don't leave it in there.
(never freaking mind the minimal amount of room it occupies standing folded up in the corner if i did, i don't say out loud)
Why do you need to do that in there anyway?
Well, the iron's already in there, and it's a convenient space. It's just easier.
(Silence.)
You don't mind me using your iron, too, do you?
Actually, I do.
Okay. Can you explain why?
Well, the only reason I can think of I asked for a new iron for myself for my birthday, not for the house.
Really? i have to have my own ironing board and (crappy old) iron and space, even if i put everything away every time, because you don't want to share your nice new stuff even with me, and even when I bought it for you? Are you afraid I'm going to break your fancy new iron somehow? Do you think I want to overpay for another one to replace it if I do?
More significantly: what do you think our life together is supposed to be about, exactly?
Another day in paradise (by the dashboard light). As anti-marriage as that song is, there's another reason I hate it.
