I guess this is relatively due for an update.

Her parents left for the weekend, as well as her brother for some sort of a get-together, so she took the opportunity to come see me. We went to a bookstore and just chatted, spent time together, etc. Generally, because I have been given few facts, I asked her what was really going on... the whole story.

She was a little reluctant, but it came down to one thing: her brother. It seems that her and her brother don't get along that well, actually, not at all... he is two years younger, and has been the golden child in the family (culturally, because he's a boy and also because he's the more... academically intelligent one).

The story is quite long, but to summarize, her brother has been snooping, not the parents, in her life and has been notifying the parents of what's been going on in her life. Now, the parents are strict, but apparently, the brother instigates much of the issues. This, by the way, is her perspective, not mine.

Example 1: She used to be a smoker, but over the summer, she quit. I knew this, and applauded her for quitting, but two weeks after she quit, her brother bought a pack of cigarettes and hid it in her room as well as in the car so her parents would find it. It wasn't that she "forgot" she left these cigarettes there, because they were an entirely different brand than the ones she used to smoke...

Example 2: He snooped and found our conversations, printed them out, highlighted portions of it, and showed it to her parents.

Example 3: Last week, while she was working, her brother came by to her work, searched through the car and her purse. She has no proof that it was her brother, but since both of her parents were working at the time, and no one else has keys to the car except her parents and the brother, he seems to be the most likely suspect.

Example 4: While she was at work, as well as her parents, her brother searches through her room... not sure what he's looking for.

Example 5: She has recently received computer privileges back, but her brother, upon seeing her use the computer, disconnected the internet all together.

Example 6: This past weekend, while the parents went away and he was going to his get-together, he said to her, "Someone's watching you...always," then left... only to come back 20 minutes later, stay in the driveway for five minutes, and then leave again.

So... this is entirely her perspective. I can't really pass judgment on the guy because I've personally never met the guy, so I can't really confirm/deny what the issue is... but that's that.

We had a long chat, because when I saw her, she seemed extremely stressed and generally unhappy. We discussed the matter at hand, and the likelihood of a long term status, and we've determined that even if we did end things, things weren't going to get better for either of us while we're here this summer, so might as well enjoy each others' company and support each other...

3 weeks left!

I've been keeping busy by working out, studying ahead, and also, since I figured I could use the skills, I bought myself multiple suture kits and practice them on banana/orange peels. Now, if I can find myself some sort of a live human practice patient...

Too much drama's going on.
Good for you for hanging on, Sneezy.

[ISneezeFunny]

Haha, I agree. The good thing is, there's so much drama being created by the family, we see no need for there to be drama between us.

[I wish]

Sounds like a very intense situation, but it looks like you've got a good handle on things. Keep it up!

The more obstacles you overcome together, the stronger you will be as a couple.

[kp2171]

There's is a person in my ex's extended fam who seems to spend much of her time finding ways to create drama and chaos for others.

It really p!$$ed me off at first.

Stupid, stupid BS that meant nothing long term and just ruined everything short term.

Eventually... I just had to let it go a little and accept that it must be hell to live your life like that.

And while I am so, so not against putting a p*ssy like her brother against a wall (sorry, he is and I don't have to like it)... at least you have some perspective about what is happening.

I think it makes me retract some of what I said about her. Yes... I hope she still stands firm, but its clearly more than what we knew at first.

So he tries to sabotage her life and happiness to keep the spotlight on him.

Wtfever.

In time... she will outshine him tenfold... maybe she already does.

So... again... tick tock... short time until she is away from that noise.

What a fidiot. Damn sure not a man.

[Alty]

KP, you hold the brother against the wall, I'll do the kicking. He's a little weasel. Karma will kick his arse one day. I just hope Sneezy and the girlfriend are there to see it. :)

Ya, I'm a bit vindictive. Didn't you know?

[kp2171]

KP, you hold the brother against the wall, I'll do the kicking.

Nope.

If I catch him, you get leftovers. Sorry. I like to see the scared look in their eyes right before they black out.

[Kitkat22]

She's 24 and they lock her in the house? They're fruitcakes! Total
Control freaks! Type A personalities. Bonkers!

[Alty]

nope.

if i catch him, you get leftovers. sorry. i like to see the scared look in their eyes right before they black out.

Well I'm pretty sure I can run faster than you, so I guess I'll be getting dibs. :D

I too like to see the scared look in their eyes when they realize that a woman is going to beat the ever loving heck out of them.

I've got skills, and tools. :)

[aimee_tt]

Use my sisters wind up punch when she was little... Wind up with the left hand then instead of punching with the right hand punch with the left!. This punch is designed for the family jewels!

[kp2171]

Well I'm pretty sure I can run faster than you, so I guess I'll be getting dibs. :D

Don't count on it.

I've hidden your running bras. You'll be blinded in five steps, mrs well endowed.

[Kitkat22]

Don't forget the "look".

[kp2171]

The Icy Stare of Death makes me giggle. Or turns me on. I forget.

[aimee_tt]

No Kit you use the seduce look while winding up.. Then he has no idea what's coming... Then as you punch you use the dirty look... Gives it a nice touch lol

[Kitkat22]

the Icy Stare of Death makes me giggle. or turns me on. i forget.

The "look" can turn a man to stone. Worked on my kids too when they misbehaved.:eek:

[kp2171]

I've dated and loved italian girls for far too long.

Sorry. Just doesn't faze me.

A pouty lip and a feigned tear... that might buy you some time. But the ticked off daggers look... I'm just not that green to the scene.

[Kitkat22]

I'm mad when I give the look.
If I tried a seducing look I would scare Satan himself away.

HAHA there isn't much difference.. You pout the lips a little and put a small smile in the pout and lighten the eyes a little... Then go in for the kill... Well not kill kill lol

[Kitkat22]

It depends. If someone hurt my family... :eek:

[kp2171]

Maybe its just me. Maybe I'm used to p!ssing girls off. Done my fair share I guess.

Now... go rummage through the garage and come out with my sledge, bee-lining for my truck... ill take that look into consideration. A well chosen prop can tip the scales.

Got to love the anticipation of makeup sex... ;)
