Only the two of you know what goes on, without the filter of either you or him telling the story. All we can do is talk about our own relationships and try to make a weak connection somewhere.<br /><br />All I will say is life is very short and if a person is in a relationship that makes them unhappy and it will not significantly change (it never does), then they shouldn't be in that relationship. Bad relationships aren't good for either person.<br /><br />I hope it goes well for you.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />SLCCasey Freelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01258967374124497696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886936654101087197.post-88577568591100174892010-03-19T07:31:26.192+13:002010-03-19T07:31:26.192+13:00Look after and be good to yourself. xLook after and be good to yourself. xHappy Frog and Ihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02679066739313347920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886936654101087197.post-21203603246146694652010-03-19T01:28:34.869+13:002010-03-19T01:28:34.869+13:00People grow past each other.

Along the way I realized I was not getting what I needed but yet they seemed content with what they were getting from me. <br /><br />Once I 86'd them, the real test was that I had no desire to re-up with them and worse...I didn't miss them at all. AT ALL. <br /><br />I work on myself a lot. I had a shrink a few years back who told me she'd never had a patient who worked so hard on themselves and who 'got it' so quickly. That much is true but the price I paid was that I had to look at who I had surrounded myself with. It was all on my shoulders to take responsibility for who I had pulled into the inner circle. <br /><br />That was depressing. (don't I love myself AT ALL???)The end result is that now I'm very circumspect with anyone I meet. It's kind of a drag.Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00361775888847203043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886936654101087197.post-15166124612300131332010-03-18T22:09:07.065+13:002010-03-18T22:09:07.065+13:00I hear ya.

So Yea, I hear you.<br /><br />I hope this isn't too obvious but - have you read 'Eat, Pray, Love' lately? I'm in a re-read and enjoying her brilliance and for some reason you remind me of her. <br /><br />Sending love!Sweet Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02989731482233071993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886936654101087197.post-35889354095931768362010-03-18T15:44:09.369+13:002010-03-18T15:44:09.369+13:00Perhaps this is where blogging can help, ie you de...Perhaps this is where blogging can help, ie <i>you</i> decide when you want to bring the subject up and how you want to talk about it? Yes, NZ is definitely a village, but that's not always a bad thing. The trick is in working out whose questions are based on genuine concern (rather than simply being nosy), even if their comments sound awkward or clumsy at first.Caffeinated Wekahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07235662962500264686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886936654101087197.post-88236867680054100012010-03-18T12:54:21.346+13:002010-03-18T12:54:21.346+13:00My blog used to be different, more open, more spec...My blog used to be different, more open, more specific, more personal, but at some point I felt compelled to draw the shade...V-Grrrl @ Compost Studioshttp://www.v-grrrl.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886936654101087197.post-50805392538737918512010-03-18T12:49:16.190+13:002010-03-18T12:49:16.190+13:00I totally get what you're saying.

I WANT to talk about it and not have it be taboo, but I hate the "How are you feeling today?" crap. So, yeah, I do want to talk about it, but only when *I* want to talk about it.<br />Yikes!
