Its almost Thanksgiving

Since its almost end of the year, is it time to tie up loose ends?

Robin, who lost her house, moved in with us at the beginning of August. Already, she stirs up trouble for Kim and me. We've had several arguments that I have no idea where it came from, then I find out it was Robin's idea. Yet, I found out Robin only has a 2-year college education. Without doing research on something, she convincingly says things like they were facts. Granted she is street smart, but having lived in a mobile home, or with other people, and never being on her own, I find she just plays mind games with people, and use them.

With Kim, we have to work out details of our relationship, and as we live together I find more of her personality that I need to adjust to. She is so sarcastic without being nice. "why are you doing it THAT way?" Facial expressions that are so mean looking. Placing her hands on her hips and making herself look annoyed at me. I do not feel like a lover, rather a friend that has lots of insecurities. It no longer feels like a relationship, rather, settling and waiting to see if we last.

Do we accept our significant others the way they are, without any loving support, intentional or unintentional remarks filled with sarcasm that hurts us?

For now, I take the high road, and ignore her remarks and facial expressions, and hurtful gestures. As for Robin, I do not play into her mind games, just being cordial with her. By January, I will ask her to leave or start paying rent, $300 a month with chores around the house.
