I hate knowing that anyone else has experienced anything even remotely close to what I am currently dealing with, yet there is a slight comfort in knowing I am not the only one that has had to. Still unsure how I feel about that lil' Catch 22. <br />As for moving out... giiiiiirl.... I would have done that ages ago, 'cept I own this house (well, it owns me really). Every winter I would leave the island for 4 months or longer, but this winter I'm HERE. No chance of getting away for longer than a week, MAYBE two at best... and I just can't kick the guy out. He's one of my very best friends, and the anger/sadness/frustration stems directly from that. If I didn't care, I wouldn't care... you know? <br />I am dead honest with him, and totally blunt- no point in beating around the bush with this topic. That'll help no one. He is also aware that I say what I say out of love & friendship, and even thanks me for that. The guy is smart as hell, but acting like a dumb ass. I'm giving it all till the end of January 2012... at that point, if NOTHING has changed... then I change. <br />Thank you again for your comment, it was/is much appreciated.GoofyGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15623089911696360575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446445387522856240.post-7466571369888752812011-11-12T23:59:04.912-05:002011-11-12T23:59:04.912-05:00I know exactly what you're talking about.

I used to tell mine how I felt, but then I realized how fruitless it was, and the false hope was worse than reality. My advice (and I don't know your situation, so please don't take it the wrong way): move out/get away. You deserve better.Giahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10026292498250130247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446445387522856240.post-16183941190045336052011-11-11T09:08:46.341-05:002011-11-11T09:08:46.341-05:00Doria- if only listening to Rehab was more than en...Doria- if only listening to Rehab was more than enjoying a pretty kick ass band... :)<br /><br />Bea- I wish I could actually find the words to explain the release I feel when I tell him the things I do. I am VERY honest and upfront with him, and he is smart enough to know that the only reason any of this bothers me so much is because I care so deeply. On the nights when I say something, I feel like I am given hope. Albeit false hope, but hope nonetheless... It's a lovely 24 hrs of respite in my world.<br /><br />Pat- I am so sorry to hear you have dealt with this sort of thing in the capacity that you have. That is a truly horrific thought.<br /><br />Barbara- Thank you for the kind words...& the blog award!
