I negleted it for a year, sure and It Is my fault
The story
We're still working on the pool since fixing the holes Is tricky and she's starting to get irritated by It. Which i find honestly hilarious cause, yeah. I negleted it for a year, sure and It Is my fault. But where was she at? It's as much my fault as It Is hers. Cause also did not care for It at all for a year. Similiarly, She said she'd been asking for It all summer, which no. Less than two weeks at most, which Is still some time, but also She did nothing to start something She wanted and Just forgot about It most of the time. But i do feel sad cause i did enjoy the pool last year and It's my fault It's broken, and It Just wasn't right to neglect It, and i feel really bad about that. It also reminds of all the other things i've negleted over time and that now are ruined because of me. And none of that would've happened if i Just was Better and could deal with whatever Is wrong with me. At the same time i guess there's nothing i can do now but try my best to fix things. And i'm trying. I Just Hope It will hold up. Even if the patches are a bit wonky. Both the pool and everything else.

Honestly, it sounds like you're trying to share the blame here. The pool may be more than just a pool, perhaps emblematic of other responsibilities you've both neglected. It's easy to say someone else didn't step up, but ultimately, wasn't it also in your purview to maintain it? "Doing nothing" and then getting frustrated isn't the best look. 🤔 It's interesting you mentioned the patches being wonky; it almost feels like a metaphor for the way you’re trying to patch things up now. Just remember, maintenance is ongoing, not only for the pool but for whatever else you're dealing with. It’s a constant effort, not something you can let fall by the wayside and hope it will fix itself. I hope you can find some balance and not let past procrastination continue to haunt you.
man, I totally get where you're coming from. It's real easy to let stuff slide when life gets hectic. I remember my car battery dying on me last year 'cause I kept putting off checking it. We all got our things to deal with, right? 😅 it's a bummer that the pool got messed up, but it's not like you were ignoring it on purpose, it's just life gets busy; taking responsibility is a big step. it's cool that you're trying to patch things up now — literally and metaphorically. sometimes a little effort goes a long way, and you learn from it for next time. just gotta keep at it and, hey, maybe those patches will hold after all!
I completely understand where you're coming from, and it sounds like a situation many of us have encountered in one way or another. Life has a knack for throwing responsibilities at us faster than we can manage them, and it's only natural for some tasks to be left unattended over time. 😊 Once, I let my garden turn into a jungle because I kept putting it off, but focusing on what you can do moving forward is key. Your self-awareness and motivation to now rectify the situation are commendable. It's reassuring to hear that you're committed to addressing the problem, and with your efforts, I believe your pool—and your other neglected projects—will soon be back in top shape. Keep your optimism alive, and be kind to yourself during this process.
seems like you're lowkey letting yourself off the hook a bit too easy. fixing a pool isn't just anyone's job, right? that's on the owner. saying "where was she at?" kinda sounds like you're shifting blame. 😅 a year of neglect isn't something you can just shrug off. sure, it's frustrating, but getting stuck in that guilt trip won't fix the pool. maybe step up and make a plan. like the saying goes, "it's never too late to turn things around"; stay positive, put in the effort, and things might just start looking up!
I get it, pools can be a lot of work, but it kind of sounds like you're pointing fingers a bit too much. I remember when I put off fixing my leaky faucet, and it just got worse over time. Blaming others didn't help fix it, just like here; it's mostly on you, especially if you're the main person responsible for it. It's tough to admit, but taking ownership might make things easier down the line. At the end of the day, feeling guilty isn’t as productive as taking action. Maybe it's time to step up and tackle what's in front of you; otherwise, it might just become a bigger hassle.
I get what you're saying, and it’s easy to let things like pool maintenance slip, but it sounds like you’re sharing the blame a little too much. Even though she didn’t say much, if you noticed the issues, you might’ve been more proactive. I’ve done the same, like when I ignored the weird noises my car was making until it got too bad to ignore. It’s good that you’re fixing it now, but you gotta own it. Stay focused, and hopefully, next time around, you’ll catch those issues before they become bigger problems.
yeah, you're spot on about the maintenance stuff. it's so easy to let things slide, especially when everyday life keeps piling up. we all neglect things sometimes and look back wishing we hadn't; maybe she could have been more proactive about reminding you, but it's a joint thing, right? keeping a pool in shape is like trying to maintain equilibrium in life; a bit tricky and often gets ignored. it's just important to put in the effort now and not dwell too long on the past. keep working on those repairs and you'll sort it out eventually.
Sounds like you're dodging responsibility a bit for the pool mess, pal. It's not like it just sprung leaks overnight, right? You said, "did enjoy the pool last year," but did you take any measures to maintain it through the winter? 🤔 I've seen it happen with my old lawnmower; left it out, and surprise, it rusted! You gotta own up to the fact that maintaining equipment is on you; can't just wait for someone else to nag you about it. Reckon it's time to grab the bull by the horns and get it sorted. That way, next summer you’ll be chilling by the pool instead of fixing it.
