*headesk* Just thought I'd share one of those days where the planets don't align LDR communication-wise.
Remember how I told you that his car was wrecked (someone ran into him) and maybe some of the worries he had about it setting him back financially and also pushing visits and the possibility of being closer together back?
Now, he sat down and did some budgeting and seems not only insistent that it would be more practical to get a new car (which will require a loan on top of the money he was given for the insurance), but now he seems to be gleefully thinking that if he has to spend the money...he might as well get a Mini Coop.
I mean, I didn't say much, as it is his money...but I'm kind of dumbfounded that he went from worrying for the two of us (and, even aside from thinking of our relationship...he should be more practical about taking more loans out when he already has student loans) to telling me that he might get something which is a tad ostentatious or trendy for his current economic situation. (...and, also, when I think of Mini Coops, I like them...but I think of prissy wives of tennis/ hockey/ football stars driving them around. I thought his hybrid was so much cooler and from the research I did would still cost less new than a new Mini Coop).
There were lots of other silly misunderstandings tonight or disagreements and, needless to say, I didn't get around to talking about some of my other concerns with him.
