About Going Crazy, One Day at a Time

Parental #1 had the Significant Other over yesterday afternoon. He spent the night, and tonight he made us dinner. He's a really great chef, but he's also intensely arrogant. He made fun of me because I didn't know how to cook the bacon. I understand now that it's really quite simple, but hey - I've never done it before. He tried to take over, before making some unfriendly comments. It was quite unnecessary. I've come to the conclusion that he's just an unhappy person. The Parental and I have had some talks about it, but it's hard because I don't want to hurt her feelings, and really, it's not my decision anyway.

I say:
- He's rude and spiteful
- He's overbearingly sarcastic, which translates to bitter and hurtful
- He was an alcoholic until he quit drinking a month ago
- He's broke
- He's extremely disrespectful to the Parental and the Sibling
- He hates men
- He acts like he owns the world and everyone else is just in his way

She says:
- He's very helpful (true)
- She gets lonely (true)
- It's hard to meet people at her age (excuse)
- He's someone to do things with (true, but she deserves better)
- She cares about him (not my business)

So basically, I can't stand him, he upsets me, and he hurts my feelings. I like having my Parental to myself. Maybe I'm just being selfish, but I honestly believe that she could do much better for herself, and that he makes her depressed. I don't think she's a very happy person, and that is extremely upsetting to me. I want her to be happy, but I feel that it's up to her to determine what makes her happy and how to achieve that.
