Buyers Remorse

Condo shopping for my first place I was taken around by a veteran real estate agent. Spending the afternoon with him he started to up sell me, even after reminding him of my budget, down payment and ability to make the payments. He dismissed my request arguing that what he was showing me were properties with good expectations of appreciation. I settled on a two bedroom, more expensive than I could afford which committed me to a roommate.

I posted on CL and got a call from a girl, she came over, checked out the space agreed on the price and I had my roommate. She moved in the following weekend, rearranged the kitchen since she said she was going to be doing the cooking. The first meal was meatloaf and mashed potatoes, man food. After cleaning up she suggested we watch a movie, she found my DVD of the Wrath of Khan. A man movie, her words.

From that first day she made sure that the man part was covered, from laundry and cooking, to shopping and going out. She came up with the idea that a guest room gave us more flexibility so she moved into my room. I'll cut this short, she managed the engagement, the wedding, the 'guest' room was really a 'nursery'. Time has passed in hyper speed, man meals and man movies have morphed into ready to eat meals and Chick flicks, split duties, and babysitting duty.

She is pretty, gorgeous actually, she knows how to manage the household budget, and manages my budget too. I got into this mess, and my refuge is working overtime. Sex? In that arena it is all about man sex, fast.
