I almost married one.
I tried to write a coherent story about it, but I'll just give the highlights.
She was a bit of an SJW. She couldn't get ahead because she was a woman, over weight, pagan and 1/4 Native American, but you'd never know the last one if she didn't bring it up constantly.
I'll give her a little credit, she never gave radical Islam a pass.
If I gave another girl a second glance, she'd throw a fit.
She had major elitism and entitlement issues. She got her animation degree from Full Sail, and with her additional associates in web design and a bachelors degree in art, she was going to be bringing in 6 figures by the time she was 30.
Pitched a fit when her grandparents only gave her $25 on her birthday. She was 27, and they along with her stepfather had helped pay her way to college.
There was a christmas party at her work and everyone got her some sort of present. They weren't good enough for her and I watched her take them out of the trunk of her car and throw them right in the garbage can.
That car I just mentioned was supposed to be OUR car, since I had to cosign for it. I can count on one hand the number of times I was allowed to drive it, and it was never for more than a couple of miles down the street.
For an artist, animator, and web designer, I can count on one hand how many times she brought out the paints, easel and canvas, I never saw her work on any CG stuff, and maybe once or twice she putzed around on her overloaded with flash and right click disabled web site. I don't recall ever seeing her demo reel and if I did it wasn't anything special.
For someone who supposedly loved me and wanted me to succeed, she went out of her way to sabotage my attempts while squandering her chances, then blaming it on being oppressed.
She couldn't be bothered with most housework or cooking because her part time desk job was sooo tiring and doormat sikotik was there and would do anything she asked.
She thought that mentally ill people were weak and needed to suck it up, because she was raped and got over it without any therapy or meds.
She really wanted me to go back to school and major in computer science since I was good with computers. I told her that I didn't think I had the head for all of the mathematics involved, and if she got upset with me spending more than an hour trying to build my modeling and animation skills then how would she deal with me sitting at the kitchen table doing math homework ALL NIGHT like my father had to. She said it was different because I was never going to get anywhere with animation because I didn't go to Full Sail like she did or an AI or SCAD, etc. Eventually she settled for me getting another associate, this time in filmmaking.
SO while I'm going to school all day and working all night, she's cheating on me with one of her students. It's not that freaky since they were both in their late 20's. I found out and she said that I was a schizophrenic and I scared her despite never having done a single thing to warrant it. And thus it ended. I moved back to my old apartment with my old roommate and his new meth addict abusive roommate which I mentioned in the Welfare thread.
Last I heard she married the guy, got divorced 2 year later and was waiting tables and selling art on the side. No six figure salary at PIXAR or whatever the fuck she thought she was going to do.
And I'm on the
.
I guess in the end I'm the lolcow for putting up with her as long as I did and letting it break me.
