Well, the whole stupid public thing, for one. Our relationship on the meteor was a secret, I guess, except it was pretty obvious that everyone on the meteor fucking knew about it. But when we came here it kept being a secret, but then Dave mentioned that he would like to go public sometime? So it turned into this huge thing because I agreed to it but I said it all wrong, and because of that Dave changed his mind about wanting to go public. But Rose and I thought he still did, so we tried talking to him about it and he agreed to do the thing but he did not want to do the thing and it was such a giant clusterfuck, holy shit. And then Dave and I spoke about it privately, and we agreed to try being public for real?

[ and karkat thought that problem was solved BUT WAIT. THERE'S MORE. ] But I guess I wasn't telling my friends fast enough that I was dating him, so he thought that I still don't actually want to be public. So we're just stuck in this annoying merry-go-round of an argument we've had a million times because he doesn't believe I actually want to do this since no matter how I approach it, it isn't the way he wanted me to do it. Fuck, I would have told you earlier, but I had assumed that he wanted to be the one to tell you since you've been friends for years. Except then he said that he was tired of always being the one who had to tell everyone, so I guess I fucked up there too and should have told you first!
