The things that should pull us together

Seem to be ripping us apart.

I've missed something here.

She enjoys watching me play WoW, she enjoys playing Kaanyr for quests on her own. So she likes playing the game, and she likes watching the game. However when we play together, something snaps.

Not just in her, I can admit I've closed my eyes and took a deep breath so as not to say something when she does something silly, or out of place, but her... Its strange. She gets irate, aggravated, or at least seems to. She snaps at me for small things. For killing too quickly, for not grabbing every quest, for not summoning her to me the moment I land (instead running to the quest turn in then offering)....

For moving too fast as she clears out her bags because she has limited space until they approve her to a standard account. For missing quest items when I announce their presence...

Going to bed last night she was annoyed, or irritated with me. I likely wouldn't even have gotten a good night had I not said one first.

Small things that never bothered her before now seem to. The shower running in the morning, gaining heat, while I read my comics for five minutes, elicited her waking up and making a complaint.

Me commenting how a small box of cereal only lasted me two bowls elicited a complaint confession that she ate it because of her period and that she was hungry and now I had an excuse to blame her.

Admittedly, all I can think when she says that, is were situations reversed, and I ate something meant for some other purpose, I'd receive some form of lecture that it was meant for something else, and that I shouldn't have touched it, etc, before getting a brief run of stony silence before she let it drop in slight exasperation (from experience the time I accidentally went for seconds without realizing she intended the remaining amount in the pot to be for her later).

Am hoping this passes, because petty arguments for digital pixels seems muchly unnecessary on so many levels.

Ah well. Alarm wasn't set last night, so now I'm late for work. Should go in and hope I don't puke anywhere again. Been doing that a lot lately. Got an appointment with the doctor where I'll bring it up.

C'est la vie,
