I believe I'm in shock. My roommate Mark just got home from work about 40 minutes ago, to find me cleaning the condo because Marcus (his twin brother) and Julie (Marcus's pregnant wife) were going to visit us tomorrow night. I've been cleaning for about 2 hours, because I know Mark likes everything to be perfect when his friends & family are over, and he's been stressed out so often lately, that I just thought I'd help out. ;-0) I was looking forward to seeing Marcus & Julie, since they haven't visited in several years and I always enjoy seeing them.

Ok. Now, Mark wanted them to sleep in my bed, which I didn't want to give up, but eventually relented to, but then Mark told me last night that they would be getting here aroudn 8:30pm & going to bed aroun 11:30pm (or something to that effect), and I'm going to be awake all night, away from my bed, away from my computer and forced to stay in a Friday night that I had originally planned to go out on, because I wouldn't have acccess to my room. I live in my room.

So I told Mark that I'd need my room so I could get ready & go out; that way I wouldn't be around to make noise while they were asleep. Mark has a bed that could be used and Mark could sleep in my room and not be bothered by coming & going, and changing my clothes & searching through my closet & drawers for random things to wear & use. Mark said his room wouldn't work, because it's really messy; filled with boxes & stuff - so then he wanted to fill up my room with the boxes; and stopping me from getting to the things I needed. I suggested he store them downstairs, which wouldn't bother me in the least; he said that he'd just call Marcus & Julie and tell them that I didn't want them here. I said, "So...you're going to lie to them?" and he said that it wasn't a lie. He went in his room, called his twin brother & then told him two lies; he told him that we'd just gotten into a fight (we never even raised our voices - I didn't realize we were arguing?) and then that he told Marcus that I now didn't want he or his wife here, which isn't true. Basically, Mark is ashamed that his room is a mess & instead of telling his brother the truth he lies about me.

I know I shouldn't be surprised when he lies. It's why we aren't a couple after all. But this was just so hurtful. I don't want Marcus & Julie thinking I don't like them, or don't want to see them, or that they aren't welcome here. I was really looking forward to talking to them. Marcus is such a sweetie, and Julie & I have always gotten along reallly well. This just sucks. I don't want to call them and tell them the truth (I don't think I even have their phone #, anyways); I don't want them to know that Mark lied... This whole thing just sucks!

I was gonna go see my dad today, after Mark got home, but then realized I needed to clean the condo; cancelled my plans and cleaned instead; does that sound like something someone would do if they didn't want someone to come over? grrr. If I didn't love Mark, I'd really hate him.
