"I haven't been doing anything I want to do"

Everyone is well aware that I fight with my boyfriend... A lot. We've been together for two years on December 13th, 2013 so things can get pretty edgy.

After one date, he moved in with me. After moving in with me, he announced to everyone that I was his girlfriend. After that... I just went with it and started working on all of the projects he worked on, and found parts of myself I had hidden away.

Secretly, I'm a workaholic. I enjoy the thrill of a new project, the rapture of success, and the creative process that is intertwined with the development of a project.

My boyfriend is a workaholic, and not the good kind. It results in high stress, aggravation, a bad temper, and an inability for him to sleep. He rarely finds satisfaction in the conclusion of a project because he rarely feels he completed the project in the first place.

While we are both workaholics, I find immense pleasure in losing myself to my work, he doesn't. Alas, that is why we fight. Different working standards, different agendas, et cetera.

The title of this post " I haven't been doing anything I want to do" is a clear cut example of our fighting, today, in fact. He wants me to work on project x b and t while I work my why from 1 to 100, in order.

Since I work chronologically and not on the whims of others, it makes it difficult to work with people. There is an extreme perversion in me that enjoys pissing people off when they are being unreasonable. Typically, this works in my favor, however, in my relationship, it just causes a fight.

Not to say my relationship is all bad, it's not. We have great moments curled up on the couch watching movies, enjoy strolls along the beach, painting at Artists of the Wall, dinner at home, and sometimes, we work well together too.

When we work well together, there is a symmetry to our actions, and we both feel more accomplished than before. We are so on it, that we even get in one another's way and finish trains of thoughts for the other.

What can I say? We're one chaotic, but positive couple. :)
