How to get things Really Flat
Love dance, will travel
This stuff is a doddle. You don't need a dutiful scrubber, a surrogate mother, or even a home economics tutor - you just need a counsellor to help you get over your issues of co-dependency and abandonment.
Having lived by myself for vitually ever, I tend to have the opposite problem. I automatically do my own thing, or turn into Mr Fixit, leaving the other person feeling neglected or supervised. Synchronising with somebody else, giving up total freedom to choose, eventually leaves me disoriented and I just switch off: "Yes, dear, whatever ..." (it's taken me a while to work out why women don't like that!)
Anyway, if you leave the place looking like complete tip when she gets back, she'll think twice before leaving you alone without a cleaner in future.
The correct answer to this is "I'm sorry - who did you say you were?"
This is the approved course of action. When she returns she will a) know that you cannot do without her, b) relieve her travel frustration by moaning at you for being so hopeless, and c) have something to distract her from the fact that she's no longer in an interesting and new place by filling her hours with housework. Result!As I love her however I'll take your advice and leave the place like a tip for her return
OK, so first things first.
1.) Just eat out of tins or eat takeaways out of the containers. No cooking and no washing up to do - so there's no need to find and/or use the dishwasher and oven.
2.) Chuck any uneaten food and rubbish into your neighbours front gardens. They will think it's troublesome louts and in the meantime it also saves you feeding the pets as they will be able to fend for themselves off the discarded scraps - so there's no need to put the bins out. The paper carrier bags and containers will also keep them amused
3.) Go to bed each night with a hot water bottle filled with cold water. This gives you something furry to play with whilst your woman is away and if you also clamp it between your thighs the water will be warm enough in the morning to make you an early morning cuppa - this saves you having to 'work' the kettle.
4.) Visit as many old friends as you can. This will ensure a regular supply of food and drink and will help you to save on your electricity bills. Also, the longer you are out of the house the less mess you will make, saving the need to find the vacuum cleaner. P.s If you haven't got any friends then you can always go dancing...
5.) If you need to worry about the ironing it's your own fault. Next time make sure she washes and irons all your clothes before going on another one of her little jaunts.
6.) Lastly, you must ensure that there is something for your partner to do on her return. No woman wants to think she's expendable, so saving the grass cutting and the washing of your trolleys for when she gets back gives her something to do to make her feel wanted, and it will also give her something to moan and whinge about - which, as most enlightened men know, is an essential part of any relationship.
Now, get yourself a beer, put your feet up, switch on the box, order a pizza and relax..
