Relationship Craziness

[greenstorm]

Okay. I've had three major relationship talks - the hard, exhausting kind -- with three different people in the last twenty-four hours. This is like a steamroller. I have one minor relationship and one major relationship that haven't needed maintenance and we're almost to the 24-hour mark, the rest of you had better hurry up to make it in.

I feel completely drained. I really need to figure out what to do in these situations. I don't think the dicussions will get easier, though I used to believe they would as I got better at communicating. I think I just need to learn to say, come talk to me next Wednesday when my batteries are recharged, if it can't wait you're down by one SO.

It feels immoral to say that, really wrong. Is it? No one's there for me 24 hours a day, and that's not through lack of will, that's through ability and prior commitments. Should I stop stretching my ability and bashing my prior commitments?

I need to figure out my boundaries.

Thanks.

What you meant was that you really need to talk about how I use you for oral sex and song attribution while leading you about by the nose with the lure of not dumping you from the friends list, right? And you'll call me at 3am to discuss this?

Note that my sense of humour is actually intact, it may just not be recogniseable.

Yes, that's exactly what I meant. Except for the 3AM thing, because some of us have to work. ;)

Oh, but that's the best time to argue until dawn. It adds that extra edge to your workday.
