I know this isn't the time to evaluate anything, much less my relationship, but it is good to hear (read) when you're right in the middle of it. I appreciate it.<BR/><BR/>I told my boss I'm taking a personal day tomorrow. It's all I can really take off and I need a day for sleep, if nothing else. How sad is it to be excited about sleeping in when I don't even have kids or anything to make it a real luxury? Then I plan to sit around and read and drink tea in bed until I feel like getting dressed. A good mental health day is definitely in order.<BR/><BR/>Thanks :)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03929341637572551277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26447149.post-45878471327465442652007-05-30T18:08:00.000-05:002007-05-30T18:08:00.000-05:00I'm sorry to hear that so many trying things are h...I'm sorry to hear that so many trying things are hitting you all at once. Maybe you should think about taking some vacation time and just getting away from everything for a little bit?<BR/><BR/>I'm sure you already know this, but the times when you're stressed out about other things are the absolute worst times to evaluate a relationship. You're going to get on each other's nerves at a time like this. The real test is how you feel when the burden has been lifted.<BR/><BR/>Your lover can be a best friend, a partner, a confidante, a mentor, a student...all kinds of things. But never your therapist. Just as you can never be his. Partners have to ride out the storm together, turning to each other for strength, but they can't expect the other to solve anything.<BR/><BR/>But like I said, you probably already know all that :) It's just good to keep in mind. I know exactly what you mean about the differences thing. You have no idea how many times when I was stressed out about stuff like classes and graduating and what kind of work I wanted to do that I thought my life would be so much simpler if I broke up with Sean. I even tried to do it a couple of times. But I didn't actually want to break up with him, and he knew it, and thankfully he was able to show me that.<BR/><BR/>So yeah.<BR/><BR/>Regardless of all that, I hope things get better for you. *hug*Heather Meadowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04962932701620185508noreply@blogger.com
