One night, my girlfriend and I are watching "the bourne supremacy". she loves it, loves matt damon and the "action" scenes, eats it up.
I figure that it might be a good time to ask her if she'd like to go to the range with me some time.
she turns to me with shocked expression.
"you really do have guns? omg, i don't want to know. we are NOT HAVING GUNS in the HOUSE WITH KIDS. they're just too much power for anyone to have."
she refuses to talk about it, discuss it, adamantly refuses to look at any of my guns.
tells me that under no circumstances will we ever have kids in the house with such dangerous things.
tells her therapist about it.
her crazy, loose ... morals roommate agrees and says that i just feel a need to have power.
the therapist tells her that these are dangerous things and "we need to talk about it".
3 months later, still no difference.
i discover that i'm not bothered so much by her dislike of firearms as her absolute refusal to engage me in discussion about it. we all give up things in relationships. but usually for a reason...
1 month later, still no difference. REALLY begins to pressure me to think of ourselves as married with tears, "depression", and telling me she loves me "so much".
2 weeks later.
i do my best to give her my fondest regards, and sadly but quite firmly tell her that i've got to go.
1 week later.
start dating a pretty eastern european gal who was raised during commie times. buys me an sks for birthday and outshoots me with it. claims she doesn't remember any of her training. hooks me up with a childhood friend who runs an eastern european govt arsenal to give me a tour in november.
ps: ex and loony 4-cat owning (in a 2 bdrm apt) room8 hates me and tells everyone that i've got inferiority issues and craves power. both subsequently become objects of much amusement to new gf and i....
