Wednesday 8th January

I just want to get away from him, just for a moment. He's driving me insane with all his petty niceties. Why does he have to be so cutesy and use words like 'sweet' and 'cute'? Why CAN'T we have basil chicken, onion, garlic and herb sauce with potatoes? WHY can't I argue with him without him going all sensitive and defensive? This is the biggest problem. I quite like arguing and discussing things using observations, logic and reason. C. takes it all personally. He sees it as me being vindictive, but generally I'm just arguing out of interest, or boredom. Why do you think that? Prove it to me. It's a darn sight more interesting than just agreeing with each other all the time.

I don't know why I bothered to go to classes this week, he never listens to anything I suggest anyway. I can see where he's being misunderstood so I thought it would be helpful if I told him. The trouble is, he’ll end up saying well YOU do it then, and then we’d see. Then there’d be a reckoning. I know what one should say, how things should be explained, how the games are relevant, but get me up there in front of those kids and it all goes out the window. I could help him with things, but I don’t think he’d want me to. It would offend him as well. So how can I get away? How can I leave it all behind and do something more interesting?
