Mark,
No worries. You were right in assuming two separate ideas. The manipulation game surely isn’t my style, nor do I expect anyone to do something for me that they don’t feel comfortable doing. I love him regardless of this behavior because well that’s how I function. Unfortunately, I can’t continue a romantic relationship if that continues. He knows this.
Grr. My most dreaded consequence of aging. Learning to thrive off of heartache and failure. Well, unfortunately the older women I go to have dated notions regarding love and relationships (“deal with it” or “boys will be boys”). Something I definitely do not subscribe to or take into consideration. Hence, why I am here, looking for support of some kind.
I am young, which is why this isn’t something I can write off as life or death. I’ll just stomp my feet, throw a few profanities into the air, and try again. A modified tantrum of sorts. lol I have to discuss this issue again with SO and hope we find a solution or I’m moving on with my life.
Ah, I knew it!
