Stubborn Blinds
Posted By: jessica rabbit
Category: General


FIGHT DETAIL
My boyfriend and I have been together for almost a year now. We usually stay at his place because I live with roommates and he has his own house. For a few months now, the blinds on his bedroom window have been broken and aren't up on the window. He has no curtains and the window faces the street. I have asked him to please cover up the window somehow because I feel uncomfortable being in there at night when it is very easy to see in from the street. I have even seen him walking around the room from outside before I go inside the house and I don't want all of his neighbors seeing me naked or near-naked when we're in the room at night.

He insists I'm being a complaining bitch about it and have no right to ask him to do anything to his house - even though he never comes to my place and I always go to his. He says I can fix the blinds myself if it bothers me so much, but I think if he cares about me and my comfort level when I'm in his place, he should man up and fix them. Am I wrong for asking him to do this one simple thing for me? Or is he being a inconsiderate jerk?

Simple!

This guy is an idiot.

It's a safety issue, if nothing else. But for him to call you names over it kind of indicates you're only there for one thing, in his mind.

Next time you go over, tell him you will not be naked or partially naked in any room that doesn't have privacy blinds. You'll either be out of there as he goes off to look for someone with a more exhibitionist attitude, or he'll fix the blinds.

All you need is someone driving by or lurking around taking photos/videos that you'll see on the Internet some day. He's a true loser in any case because it costs $20 for a new set of blinds that would serve the purpose.

Why don't you?

If it really does make you that uncomfortable why don't you put the blinds up? Are you too good to help him when you are staying there too? Maybe it would make him feel good if you did something for him. He is allowing you to stay there and doing a simple task for your own comfort seems too much for you? You definately are being a bit selfish. Do something if you don't like it.... If you can't do it don't stay there.

Little things symbolize big things later, he's an asshole, you will suffer if you stay. Leave, not until he fixes the blinds but forever. Figure out why you put up with this shit and then date someone who wants a real relationship

OK - I think you answered your own question...
"He insists I'm being a complaining bitch about it and have no right to ask him to do anything to his house - even though he never comes to my place and I always go to his. He says I can fix the blinds myself if it bothers me so much"
Uh... why would you stay with someone who obviously doesn't give a rats ass about how you feel?
The blinds? What about the big things?

This guy is a complete jerk and you should leave him right away. Why is it that you always go to him? Sounds like a booty call to me. He doesn't seem like he has to do much in this relationship. I would refuse to go over there until he takes care of the problem if you think this relationship is even worth your time (which I don't think it is) he doesnt get sex if you don't come over lol. I WOULDN'T stay in a room that had no curtains, even if it was in the middle of NOWHERE. Good luck :)

@marky: Since this IS Earth Day, I just had to chime in here. Having window coverings is an ENERGY SAVER, both in warm weather and cold. Also, unless you are dating a stripper-exhibitionist... why not show a little class and make your lady feel like you give a damn. Or else, maybe you aren't meant for each other? Sounds like maybe that's the case to me.

Don't stay with people that are mean to you
Posted By: Suzen

Explain My Vote
You don't need to be in a relationship to be happy, why waste your time with someone that can't handle the simple task of mini blinds? Today people would have you on the internet in a second if they saw you through that window, if he doesn't get that, he's stupid, and if he doesn't care that it bothers you, he's an asshole.

Women get pushed into thinking that any request they have is "bitching or whining." But its not. You are human being, you have the right to be comfortable and safe. Get rid of him, stay single till you find someone you don't have to post online about. Just have fun, love will find you.

If he is actually calling you a "complaining bitch" then this guy is clearly a self absorbed ass and you should dump him. Protecting your modesty should be at the top of his priority list.

He's being lazy!
Posted By: Do unto others!

Explain My Vote
It sounds like if the situation were reversed, she would fix the blinds. Since he should do unto others, I say fix the blinds. That being said, maybe he just wants to show the world that he's getting laid... and by a hottie (I would assume that if she were ugly he'd put up the blinds). He should fix the blinds and she should take the bizarre compliment!

I won't feel comfortable with no window coverings either but it's just an example of a fundamental underlying issue. She needed to be heard and the request honestly considered, not just immediately dismissed without consideration. This is what people do that care about each other.
