\"We're<\/a>
We're Both Doomed!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nDear Poor Lucky Me,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nMy girlfriend and I live together. She is really into plants, which bothers me. I feel like, why don’t we just get a dog, or a kid for that matter, if we’re going to be tending to something all the time. It’s constant! Water it, make sure it has sun light. Etc. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nSo I’ve started pouring salt water into the plants, just to kill them slowly and get her less attached to living things that need care. I mean I need home cooked meals for god’s sake! She doesn’t have time to have a green thumb.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nFondly,
\nDon’t Get Me Wrong, I DO NOT Want Kids. Or Pets.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nDear Don’t Get Me Wrong,
\nYou’ve made a compelling case to hate plants and pets and children, but I’m afraid that’s not the real issue here. I”m worried that if you need so much attention from a spouse that you’ll resort to plant-murder, it may be time to speak with a professional. Or, at the very least, consider moving back in with your mother. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nIt’s very difficult to pull off being some one’s singular focus. One minute you’re enjoying home cooked meals, the next moment your spouse (who has no other distractions) realizes that your a selfish boor who just might actually be mentally ill. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you can’t allow your significant other to have other interests, things are going to get ugly real quick. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sincerely,
\nPoor Lucky Me<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
