'You have given away money yourself to worthy causes - you have told me so,' I said. 'Leave, if you don't like it!' I shouted.
Maiyuu responded by pulling the plug from my computer. It was going at the time.
My computer does not like sudden power outages. I have spent thousands of baht - enough to buy a new one, in fact - repairing the hard-drive after it goes into shock when the power is cut.
I flew back into his room and grabbed him. We struggled.
'K*ill me!' he shouted.
'I won't k*ill you - I want to carry on with my own life, even if you don't want yours,' I said, releasing him.
Tensions settled for about an hour, before we fell into an argument again. This time, Maiyuu said he was leaving.
The last time he threatened to go, a couple of months ago, he spent an hour packing his clothes and other belongings into rubbish bags - which then sat around our place for weeks before he decided to empty them again.
This time, he told me to keep the lot. 'I am going into the monkhood for life,' he said. 'I won't need anything there.'
I wanted to give him money before he left. 'I can leave it with the office, or give it to the temple. I cannot accept you leaving with nothing,' I said.
I told him this not because I am a generous soul, but because I didn't like the thought of him struggling alone.
From what I gather he probably feels you don't give him enough attention. Is he not working or going to college? Otherwise not busy they easily fall into depression.
ReplyDeleteWell, sometimes we have to recognize that "living with someone" is not the same thing as being "in love" with someone.
ReplyDeleteIt is quite apparent that Maiyuu has been spoiled and is accustomed to getting his way because his mother spoiled him.
BKK, you pride yourself for your compassion and for taking responsiblity for others...but you must realize that your traits are what keeps Maiyuu from growing up. You actually empower his behavior.
Let him go....but guard yourself against his coming back because he will...and he will throw you some tidbit of affection and you will run with it...
Don't do it this time...move on!
You deserve better!
As I said - leave him! Let him see the 'outside' world without you. He might be crawling back and knck on your door...-BS
ReplyDeleteHope you change the locks soon!!!
