Well its just so hard to believe it’s the 4th of July weekend. Seems like there really has been no summer. We didn’t celebrate Memorial Day. Barely did anything for Mothers day. School ended and we didn’t have any graduations or celebrations. Seems like are currently living in an alternative universe.

Steve is playing golf with my dad, my uncle and Steves best friend. Steve will leave about 7 and not get back until probably 3 or so. It will be nice to have some alone time. Bella and I can lay in bed and watch TV. Take our walk and then go have lunch with my mom. Supposed to rain a little. But hoping it will stay clear. I may even go for a run this morning as I haven’t run since Tuesday.

Steve and I have been very good for the last few weeks. But being cooped.up in a small 2 bedroom condo 24/7 for almost 3 1/2 months really tested our relationship. I hate confrontation but also won’t back down if I think I am right. We red heads can be very stubborn. And I am guilty as charged.

The argument we keep having i s the same every month. I own the condo and pay the mortgage, association fees, house cleaning fees and the winter snow removal fee. I bought a 2 bedroom condo knowing that I needed a room mate to help me pay the mortgage. Steve has some college loans he has to pay.off. I understand. Many of my.friends also have college loans. They pay.them and also pay.rent or have a mortgage to pay. But that is no reason to expect free rent. I did just refinance but I qent from 30 year to a 15 year loan so my payment actually went up a little. I also let him use one of my garages for free. They usually rent for 100 dollars a month. I pay the association fee so we both can use the gym, swimming pool and tennis courts.

If you were me would.you charge your bf rent? Or am I being unfair about it? I do really love the companionship and I really have very deep feelings for Steve. I have not had a relationship for over years and we do have a special bond. Am I being unreasonable? Or do.tou agree he should pay if he wants to live there?

I don’t want.to go back.to dating sites and one night stands and being ghosted. But I also don’t want to lose him. What do.you all think?

Happy 4th!
