my own insensitive friend commentFrom: jodi (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 31 May 2001 14:20:27 -0500 (CDT)
Hmmm... in a way, I walked into this one myself, but it goes well with how do we handle friends talking negatively about things which are sensitive to us. I have the most disgusting room mate on the planet. I am not exaggeratting... she is the sloppiest, dirtiest, smelliest, most inconsiderate person you would ever want to live with. Ok... I guess I should say not want to live with... We have been fighting recently over how she won't clean up, how she brings other people's garbage home, how she claims the smell of cleaning products makes her physically ill and she has asked me not to use them... etc. Well, I can't wait to move out next year. We were acquainted through a friend before we moved in together, and we got along quite well... before we moved in together. The two girls she was supposed to live with bailed on her - I no longer wonder why. The person she lived with last year hated her. The people she lived with last summer, friends of mine, will never invite her back again. Her habits are disgusting, and she claims there is nothing wrong with them! Well... My friend was here at work with me over lunch and we were discussing her, how I think she has some serious underlying mental issues... he says she just sounds like a spoiled child. Well, she is an only child, and is used to having her own way... I mused, something to the effect of, I wonder if it would be worse to be infertile or to have a kid like her? My friend was like, What do you mean? Are you crazy? And I said No, seriously. Would you rather be infertile, or have a child that is completely maladjusted and can't find a room mate because no one can stand to live with her, has horrible living and grooming habits, etc, etc? And like, she's an only child... What must it be like to be her parents, to have one child and have her turn out so horribly? He was like, it would be worse to be infertile. I hope the girl I marry isn't infertile, I'd probably break up with her if she was. HMMMMMMMM. So yeah, you can see how I walked into that one, in a way. My friend, BTW, is single, totally oversexed, but is so piggish about women and hung up on appearance and boobs that I don't see him finding anyone any time soon, heh. So I said, Well, you know, a lot of women have fertility problems. And he was like, really? Then why do so many women get knocked up? And I said, I didn't say everyone had them... And anyway, even if your girlfriend isn't infertile, you have no way of knowing if you are. And female infertility is a lot easier to figure out than male. And he was like, well, I bet I'm fine. I bet I could get a girl pregnant if I tried. And I said, you never know... You might seem fine, but lots of men seem find and turn out to be shooting blanks. And he was like, I don't think so... sounding doubtful... Blah. So there was MY weird encounter with a touchy issue. I'm evil, I suppose... My comeback was to make HIM worry... but finding out that a friend of mine would dump a girl over infertility when I know I am probably gonna have problems... kinda sorta hurt. And as for infertility over having a child like my room mate... I don't know. I think I really would have no kids than a kid like her. Is that evil of me? Y'all have never met this girl... :-) - jodi
