I get the toilet seat thing. For me its the lack of, and avoidance of, accountability.
As for the gaping, yawning unhappiness; the inability to want the things they already have . . .
The hole, I guess, is as figurative as it is literal. It used to bother me. Now I realize I need to find someone who believes that they are already complete and are looking for someone to celebrate that with. I’ll be surprised if I find her.
I don’t mind the venting either. I want to know. I also realize they don’t want me to fix it. In 25 years however I can’t remeber a day that started with, “Today was awesome . . .”
“I get the toilet seat thing. For me its the lack of, and avoidance of, accountability.”
I totally understand this sentiment. For me I had to shift because after having children my wife has less bladder control so I always try to leave it down. At work, in the men’s toilet, I always try and leave it up because some guys think their aim is as good as Dirty Harry.
