I got out of bed this morning to the sounds of my housemates arguing. Which is pretty much par for the course because the both of them are locked in this really twisted relationship.
I got out of the room to see the lady housemate crying and I asked her what had transpired between the two to produce such a tragic outcome. A lady crying is one of the few things in this world that really gets to me. The other thing is penguins. Especially when they get on their bellies and slide around.
But anyhoo, the reason for the outburst of unhappiness from her direction would be this: Apparently, the gentleman housemate (the definition of their current relationship remains nebulous) had accused me and the Lady of having an affair behind his back.
AN AFFAIR.
My flabber was ghasted.
If there were anytime in history where a dramatic rise from the couch followed by a hearty "What the fuck?!?" was ever justified, that moment would have been it.
Things to note:
1) I have a girlfriend, whom I love and adore to bits. I've gushed about her in front of them, in a manly fashion, of course. She has visited before. He has seen her. He has seen how much I love her (Hello, Baby!)
2) The two had had an epic argument a while back, which resulted in people jumping on top of other people's windshields and those people trying to drive away to a Malacca with the former people still attached to the said windshields.
I was not involved and I didn't wish to be, but I was asked played referee for the sake of harmony and I had convinced her to calm down and give him another chance to prove himself. Then after she went to her bedroom to sleep, I spent the night talking to him, telling him how to make it up to her. Advice that he agreed to and never followed. But, it isn't my life, so whatever.
My point is this: I TRIED TO HELP THEM KEEP THEIR RELATIONSHIP TOGETHER.
3) Since then I've made an effort to stay out of their way so they could solve their problems without having to put up with the dude from Sarawak with the really small eyes intruding.
AND AFTER ALL THIS HE ACCUSES ME OF HAVING AND AFFAIR WITH THE LADY!!!
FOR NO COHERENT REASON!!!!
If it wasn't he wasn't such a tragic figure of a man, I'd be laughing. A true male chauvinist, his idea of "respect" to a lady is to order her around in front of visitors.
Actually I think I'll laugh anyway.
Irrational bouts of insecurity are so entertaining. ENTERTAINING TO THE EXTREME!!!!!!!!
OMG, I typed "to the Extreme". That is, like, SO nineties.
