Your Skeletons Don’t Need To Be In The Closet
Boyfriend/Girlfriend, home, Ignoring & Inattentive, Norway, Silly | Romantic | October 22, 2017
(My boyfriend is notorious for not noticing things in our living space. I have to put things right in front of him for him to notice, and even then it’s 50/50 chance he’ll react. I just put up a small picture of a character from a comic. A few minutes later he walks past it.)
Boyfriend: “Oh, I see you’ve put up a picture of [Character].”
Me: “Yes, I did. I’m surprised you noticed it this quickly.”
Boyfriend: “Why, has it been there long?”
Me: “No, I put it up like five minutes ago. But usually you never notice these things.”
Boyfriend: “Like what?”
Me: “The hedgehog figure I put in the window sill in our previous apartment? It took you weeks to notice it, and it wasn’t even that small or hidden away.”
Boyfriend: “That was just because I never looked at the window sill! Like, right now you could hide a dead body by the living room window and I wouldn’t notice because I never look that way!”
Me: “…Okay.”
