This isn't what I signed up for when I asked you to move in with me. Your two adult children weren't really in my plans. Well, one circumstance has led to another, and now they're here. Oh, and they're both feral child-men.
It's impacting our relationship. We don't have any time alone, and your adult kids are oblivious to personal space and boundaries. My bedroom is my sanctuary, don't violate that.
It's your Friday night, our date night, and we planned on going to dinner and connecting because our relationship has been so strained of late. Well, you laid down for a nap four hours ago, and had no interest in getting up for dinner, or even talking at all. The way you talked to me felt dismissive.
Is it wrong for me to feel taken for granted in this spot?
We're really good together but I just don't feel like you make much time for me anymore.
I'm sorry you guys are going through this. I hope things get better for you guys. Maybe it's time the child-men learn to live on their own - like they should, because they are adults. Give them a month to get themselves together. I'm sure the local homeless shelter would be happy to assist them.
I know it's hard and all, but sometimes those apron strings just need to be cut.
