Fire

[Romeo]

My cattery partner had a fire.  It was small, and confined to one room, however, MY cats were the ones who were lost.  Everyone is rallying around my partner with support, telling me I need to "put myself last" and "care" about what horrors he will be going through for a long time.

Well, it's a little difficult to care when he keeps going on and on about "how much insurance money he's going to get," and starts pulling out decorating magazines to choose new furniture.  NOTHING is being said about the breeding cats I lost.  All this despite the fact that he owes me about $3,000.00 and is making no mention of ever paying me back.

He is getting money, casseroles, and LOTS of attention.  I am getting nothing.

Am I just being a spoiled little drama queen who is stomping her feet because she isn't getting enough attention?  Or is it time to just simply lose this person?

BTW, when I had a serious accident a few weeks ago, he was "too busy" to help me...

ummmmm.......may be a little crass here but I think this one sounds like a no brainer......you definitely were hurt by this fire and money owed is always paid back before frivolous spending. Just my vote.

and I seriously think you need to look at this partnership. Sounds a bit one sided.

I agree with both Carol and Joe here.
It sounds like the "partnership" is a bit one sided....
Perhaps its time to ask for a buy out and move on to a new partner!

Thanks to all who offered opinions.  This is especially helpful, since you do not "know" the people involved, and therefore can offer a more unbiased opinion.

I am most hurt, I suppose, by the self-centeredness of the partner.

Thanks again,
Romeo
