- I just had to add something here, even though I'm not sure what angst is
- exactly. I think I have it, but I'm not sure.
-
- I have been seeing this guy for eight years now, not knowing exactly how to
- define our relationship as it tends to sway back and forth as an empty swing
- on a swingset in the March winds. We have had as many falling outs as we
- have had falling-ins. I have left him to date other men, only to date the
- man that set us up in the first place, and only to end up back with my
- original. It never ceases to amaze me.
-
- It is almost Christmas once again, and once again he has decided that we
- cannot continue this thing, due to--you'll love this: "Irreconcilable
- Differences"--to which I said: "Does this mean we are getting a divorce? I
- thought people had to get married before they get divorced!" And by the end
- of the discussion I told him that as far as I could see we had no "
- Irreconcilable Differences" and that I would not acknowledge them if they
- were indeed there.
-
- I'm sure that once the Holiday season passes, he will be back to his normal
- self, which could hardly be classed as normal in our sect, but in his it
- will suffice.
-
- I guess the reason I don't get on with my life and find something better to
- replace this is that I'm too busy anyway to care, and that since I am the
- only friend this guy has left around here, I stick around. He had manic-
- depressive tendencies, and someone better be there when he finally cracks,
- so they can pick up the pieces and sweep him under the rug.
-
- I am too hard on him. When he isn't in the mood he is in lately, he is very
- honest, understanding, patient, blah blah blah. But he bores me like an old
- husband. When I look in a mirror after watching Married with Children, I
- see myself as a redhead.
-
- I just want a few things: good conversation, occassional entertainment, and
- once in a while some rocketing sex. I don't think I ask too much.
-
- What do you think? Codependency to the hilt?
