Doesn't it suck when it all just becomes sooo maddening that you only see red and the rage just pours out??


LOL, I have a REAL problem with keeping cool when I am mad as a hornet. I just can't seem to not show the emotion AND THEN I could KICK myself for allowing someone to get me so riled and allowing myself to show it. Time and time again we talk about how we ALLOW people to get under our skin. We shouldn't do it, but I have tried and tried and this again is one of the reasons I seem to have trouble with relationships, because I have trouble sweeping ANYTHING under a rug.

Live and learn, yes that is so true!


And you know, bringing your laptop and going to Starbucks is not a bad idea (back-up)! If he is not ready to do something with you then you have your own agenda. Chances are that as soon as he sees you "doing your own thing" and being fine about it, he'll put down all his work and making "together time" a priority again. And if he doesn't, then at the very least you are taking care of yourself :o)


LOL....you can probably relate to this. I went through this same issue with my guy a while back. You see he gets caught up in his things and does not realize sometimes how time slips away, and before you know it...bye bye weekend. So a few months ago I was over at his place for the weekend.

I had decided to end our "telephone discussion" for the rest of the day when he told me I needed to learn the art of "just being".

ROFLMAO, yup, I would have FLIPPED. I dated a few of those "experts". :) I do know I have to tone things down though, otherwise, I'll end up with a heartattack before I reach 40.

True and I think that is one of the reasons I flip the most. Because allll ok as long as THEY aren't being affected!


They can waste my time, they can be late, they can not show, but HECK, if it were to happen to them, they get all bent, because they had "plans".
