almost sure 'add time' means dedicate time, not literally.

:laughing:

reason I posted, I have this friend that whenever she gets involved, starts dating, falls in love (which she does rather quickly) she loses her self identity. She only focuses on the other party, no problem for me, I let everyone live their own lives.

However, when things dont go as she plans, she then she wants to manipulate and demand everyone change their schedules, plans and activities to suit her needs. Which I do on occassion to accomodate and spend time with her, but on the norm if I have things to do, it's just that I have things to do.

Well this morning I was called selfish by my friend, she wanted me to skip work, because her b/f is out of town and she's bored, I thought she was kidding (not) so I replied sure, be right there. Came into work as normal, she calls selfish, if I knew I wouldnt be showing up I should have told her so she can make other plans frustrated

Told her she still had time, it was early.

Whats so selfish about that?

Do you still have outside interests?
Do you still make time for your friends?
What happens to all the other relationships in your life?
When in a relationship can you be seen without your partner? (or do you become joined at the hip?)




Definitely have my space. Can't stand doing every single thing together .. gives me claustrophobia ... or suffocation symptoms

frustrated pitchfork :banana:

when it is right it just seems to work out that the
time you want to spend with them is magically the
time they also want to spend with you. but everyone
needs to have a certain amount of outside interests,
and everyone needs friends, so for me anyway - in a
sense my whole life changed, the focus of my life
changed, but my outside activities, friends and
relationships didn't really change much at all and
it was pretty stress free until we had kids!!

Perfectly put!

My friend Lisa says she lives vicariously through me.... 5 kids and a husband she wants to be single with only one to worry about.

Do you still have outside interests?
Yes

Yes

What happens to all the other relationships in your life?
they become better
if I have more joy in my life, I can share the joy

When in a relationship can you be seen without your partner? (or do you become joined at the hip?)

I have to be allowed to do my own thing.
I'm still an individual
that doesn't stop when I become involved with someone

Thanks for sharing all I have an extremely curious nature, and when things dont make sense nor have logic, I have to ask... even if only to ensure that I am not the one that insane waving

Well, my best friend put it to me this way just a few weeks ago "--- you're too independant, and you scare off all the guys who would treat you right, and instead you attract all the ones who think they can get one over on you, when infact you get one over on them in a way, but then you're just as pissed as if you had never had that experience in the first place"

So why am I single... Cuz I won't tolerate ball-less men, and when I find one with balls bigger than mine I'll look like this...love love love love

so in other words you need a real man. I would say a Marine but too often i have seen Marines who aren't really real men either. In other words you need a man like uh Lets say me
