I need someone to talk to. My fiance is at work and I don't want to wake my mother up by calling her (she doesn't sleep that much.) I am about to vent about something that some people might think is trivial.. so I am sorry in advance for wasting anyones time.
We recently just moved to this great new apartment. My finace and I each have our own seperate bedrooms for our passions. He loves movies and electronics and I am a scrapbooker. For the last year and 1/2 before moving we had switched work surfaces. I took his desk and he took my scrapbook table (his desk wouldn't work for what he needed.) Well... I now have my huge nice and sturdy scrapbook table back and just went to go and set it up. It is no longer sturdy, is warped in the middle from his towers of electronics, and is pretty much useless to me now. You can't scrapbook on something that wobbles everytime you touch it. I am so filled with rage right now and just want to cry. This was MY thing. My NICE THING. It is now ruined. I know he will come home and point out what a huge deal I am making over nothing. UGHHHHHHHHHHH!
Someone please talk to me... I just keep looking at this table getting more mad by the second.

((((Kristie)))) i totally understand your rage about something that was dear to you being damaged. let it all out, take a deep breath and exhale. please a don't assume that your fiance will think your blowing things out of proportion! your just like me, already thinking about negative things before they even happen. when he gets home, calmly explain to him the situation about the desk. maybe you two can come to a conclusion of maybe him buying you another desk to replace the damaged one. i know your desk is important to you. just think how happy you'll be when you get your nice new work surface! believe me, i know what it is too get really pissed of about a thing and want to scream and throw something lol! try not to get yourself too worked up. go online and pick out a nice new work surface, print it out and let him know..calmly..that your desk is no longer usable and "this" is what a want to replace it. maybe you can even go dutch and split the difference. don't scream! maybe he can pay for it himself. try antique/second hand stores for a really nice sturdy desk thats very inexpensive and with alot of character too. the most important thing is to calm down sweetie and think how much fun you can have picking out a new desk!
i hope i've helped, i know its not easy to let go of some things but if the desk is not usable, raging about it is not going to change that LOL! try not to bite fiances head off when he walks in the door!
