Just His Luck

So things have been kind of rollar coastery lately. The beginning of the week was good but it was all downhill from there. Me and the bf had been fighting quite a bit and I was hoping that our date night tonight would help me forget about everything. But when there are plans for potential happiness for me and him, there's always something getting in the way. He had to go to work earlier and he hadn't asked for permission to go out yet so that meant he was gonna be asking kind of last minute which made me worry cuz his mom upsets easily and wouldn't like that. Then before he made it home, his mother had him run an errand and of course instead of saying why he wouldn't have the time, he complied making him late. Then he was going to have to change and go get his car from his grandmother's house because his truck was out of gas. Needless to say, we decided to skip on the movie. That got me really down. And like most situations, it's not the event necessarily it's just that it piles on to previous predicaments that makes it so bad. So after making it up in my mind that I would make the most out of my situation, I sucked it up and thanked the Lord that my parents decided to go out to dinner-leaving the house vacant. And instead of immediately making plans to go somewhere else, we thought we'd stay in for a while... Then we went out for ice cream and I got a medium cup of cheesecake ice cream:) Normally I would sulk in my room over ruined plans but the night turned out to be great!

And then of course, as it always does, fate stepped in when Corbin got home and things went horribly wrong between him and his mother. She has a way of completely changing his mood and this time it was for no reason at all. Just her trying to control what little bit of privacy and freedom he has-his phone. I hate it when he's upset..he doesn't control his anger well which is usually what gets him in trouble in the first place. He feels as though he should have some rights esp. to things that he pays for but in his household, his mother is the dictator and demands submission from those under her roof. But on top of Corbin being INCREDIBLY stubborn, he also has anger management issues. So when she makes him mad, he snaps back and low and behold we've got tension and a fight for power which his mother wins everytime.

Dealing with him after such a debacle is hard work indeed. I know if he wasn't in a relationship with me, there would have been many times where he would have left the house and gotten himself into way more trouble than he does already. I'm glad he calls when he's upset...I can only imagine the apprehension that would take over if he ever ran off.
