Why I no longer consider myself a Democrat.

So I’m in this really bad personal relationship right now. My boyfriend continually says he’ll do A or B, but he rarely (if ever) does. I am expected to do all the shopping   and cooking and laundry and dishes, but if I ask him to do any of the above, he says, “What’s your problem?”, and then he wonders aloud if it’s my “time of the month”.

In the beginning of our relationship (we’ve been together a really long time, see), he promised me so very many things. On some of them, he’s more than delivered. But on most of them, he’s either backtracked completely, lied outright, or is extremely dismissive and insensitive regarding my needs.

As of today, July 6, 2010, he can suck it. He, of course, would be the Democratic Party.
