Dear Abby

I'm not sure, but I think I just broke up with my scale.

It still lives at home so we might be able to patch things up, but I don't know.

The huge argument broke out when I got on it and it just threw me this big number, BANG! No warning, no small talk, nothing!

I got off and I said: "You know, I don't find that you're being very kind to me."
It said nothing. I said, you know, all reasonable-like: "Look, things are not easy for me these days. I've been sick throughout the holidays, the job is horrible, I'm dealing with a lot. Help me out here."
I got on it again BANG! same big number, not a word.

I said angrily: "Yeah, well this is not my idea of a relationship, this is not my idea of communication, or dialogue! You want to be this way, you might just have to go and weight someone else!"

It STILL didn't answer me. Silent treatment all the way! Then I KNEW that's exactly what it wanted!

"FINE! BE THAT WAY! SEE IF YOU'RE GONNA SEE ME AGAIN ANY TIME SOON!"

And I stormed off. We haven't talked since. I mean, I'm not gonna let a scale walk all over me!

Does anybody have any advice on what I should do now?
