"I see the new coffee table's holding up."

This is what Dipshit said to me yesterday upon returning home from work, a prime example of his strained conversation. Um, did he expect the coffee table I got a month ago to crack in two or something? What was the FUCKING POINT of his opening his mouth to say that?! I was then forced to utter "so far, so good" with what passed for a smile. I mean, what ELSE could I say? Ugh, such a nightmare. Our "chats" have actually whittled down recently to basically just "hey" and "what's up?," so maybe HE'S actually cognizant of "the strain" and was trying to merely make things less semi-tense. It's all fucking ridiculous. Who cares. Either keep it to "hey" or at least say something NORMAL if you're gonna force me to string together a sentence or two. Dipshit!
