Put Up Your Dukes

I’m doing good work of my to-do list, but there is still much to do so this will be quick.

1st things 1st.  My gorgeous amazing perfect friend just went through a break-up and I am sending her love.  Just the other day, this friend and I discussed how silly it is that bloggers pretend to have *the perfect* marriage.  If you truly never argue more power to you, but I’m kind of a b**ch so I just don’t see that happening for me.  That said; the first few years of marriage suck.  The first few years of medical school suck.  Being unsure about what to do with my life sucks.  And my fabulous husband and I are angry bitter people, we can’t just do yoga and mentally picture the suckiness floating away in a bubble, we fight.  A lot.  In fact, the reason I got such a late start this morning is because we screamed at each other instead of going to bed.  But you know what?  I love my husband.  I love my marriage.  As life calms down and we grow up we will fight less.  But for now we fight, and that’s really ok.

Anywhoo, said fight meant I didn’t leave for coffee/studying until 10:30 this morning.  A PSA to my younger readers – When you are 24, and unemployed, and late, and low on laundry, you too will put on this for drinking coffee.

Snazzy sparkles aside, I didn’t actually drink coffee, I went with my craving and got a diet coke.

And it was gooood.  I was at The Spot again, so you know I got another Mike’s sandwich.

This was not so gooood.  I think I’ve finally kicked my Mike’s craving, this one had too much cheese and turned me off.  Not to say I didn’t finish it 🙂

This afternoon/tonight I need to finish my reading, work on homework, do some housecleaning, pre-make dinner for tomorrow and go to the gym.  Back to the grindstone!

Do you fight or are you a robot?  **totally kidding, I really am happy for people who are that mature

  1. Lady, I love your honesty! My BF and I fight and I never blog about it! I like acting like we’re some kind of perfect, Stepford couple but seriously…I can be a witch with a b and he can be a d-bag! But at the end of the day, we love each other and it’s all good.

  2. I think it might be that some bloggers don’t want to air out their personal business, but you’re right, a lot of times it does come across like they’re trying to be perfect. I don’t need to know all the dirty details about fights, but it helps knowing that people all share the same struggles. Marriages are hard. I wouldn’t know, but relationships are hard. Haha. I’m glad you admit it.

  3. I love your honesty, too! Meeker and I get into a big blowouts every couple of months. I like to stuff my emotions inside and wait until I get really angry – and then let him have it. Haha – he is as cool as a cucumber, but I yell and scream and throw things like a 2 year old. We had a nice big knockdown fight this weekend – it was a long time coming…

    • Katie – that sounds like me and Adam! Isn’t it funny how once you’re mad if someone else is being calm (which is technically a good thing to do) it just makes you angrier?!

  4. Thank you for this post!!! There is definitely a lot of behind-the-scenes bitterness/fighting in my world, too 🙂 And I get frustrated with seemingly picture-perfect blog relationships too!

  5. props on breaking it down on the real. i fight with the boyf, it is no wonder we aren’t married yet 😛 but i think fighting is a part of relationships. other wise it is all bottled up and that is not healthy. anyway, that sandwich looks bangin. too much cheese? not possible!!

  6. hey girl! I dont fight, and that actually scares me. I have been with the boy for 2 years this November and though we disagree we have never yelled or fought before. I hear that fighting is actually really healthy for relationships though so that worries me. Fighting is a good thing, it means you can show all side of yourself and still be loved by the other person and vise versa.
    On another note, there is nothing wrong with your outfit to go drink coffee in, hehe… if thats the worst your fine girl!

    • loveprevails – aw, one of the freaks read my post! Kidding!!! I agree that fighting can be healthy, but if not fighting works for you it works. My brother in law and his wife NEVER fight, ever, and they’ve been going strong for more than 10years!

  7. Hey, wandered over here from Skinny Runner…that bagel sandwich looks goooood!
    I bet you live about 3,000 miles away and I will never know what it tastes like 🙂
