I suppose I should say something here, and against my better judgement I shall.
About 2 years ago, now... I was in the midst of an intense relationship with a woman I met at the plant who moved here from outta state.
I decided upon seeing her 1 year previous to this that I needed her to be mine.
Crazy, huh??
I was going through the exact same thing you are.
Then, it clicked when I least expected, and man it was great.
(for about 3 months, maybe 4...)
Afterwards, I went through a period of maybe 3 months of purgatory followed by a solid year of hell.
Why??
Damn good question, which I still never figured out myself.....
I do know this:
She wanted complete freedom to do anything she saw fit to do, including leaving me - at any moments notice.
Now - I'm cool with that - but why jump a broom with someone you care less about??
So, I guess I kinda turned the heat up a little bit and 'encouraged' her to get the fuck out since that's all I ever heard her complaining about, the whole being trapped thing... Fine, get the fuck out.
Now, I am free - and happy.
AND I GOT THE DOG!!
WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!!
(opps, sorry....)
Ok - here's the deal.....
Rule 1: It is the fool who goes where the wise man runs away
Rule 2: Doing most of the giving (remember, relationships are about give and take) is ok BUT DON'T DO ALL !!
Rule 3: Never sell out, or sell yourself short either for that matter.
Rule 4: Never compromise who you are / what you are about either (I guess that's Rule 3 in a way...)
Fuck playing games - this shit between girls saying something but really meaning something else.
I'm a hard motherfucker and I take everything at face value.
Last but not least: You are a human being - always remember that - and there's nothing wrong with writing something emotional on-line about / to somebody you care about / for... and if they / somebody's got a problem with that, then tell them they can go fuck off!!
God Be With You...........................
