This was the source of a lot of grief for me.
The (relatively few) friends that I have left are good ones, ones that will go the distance for me, I hope. If not, I can deal with this too.
People come into our lives, it seems, for a reason, a season or for a long time.
Perhaps the season is coming to a close? Or perhaps more honesty will mean that you can hold onto something that has a good basis, but needs fine-tuning. Don't be rash...this relationship has had staying power or you would not have made it this long! Only you will know
Blessings to you as you navigate this one. It's tough, and I feel for you.

Yes i am the over achiever and she is the under....and all would be well if it remained that way. these are not new issues....i have always buried MY needs and feelings with Drugs and Alcohol, so as to attend to others. Its just not getting fixed as quick as she wants it to. i cant continue on the roller coaster, one day shes on board and then 2 days later, its all me again and im not fixing it....i mean seriously? I am also thousands of miles from any relatives, most of whom I hate anyway.. including Bio mom and Dad. Im all alone, if she leaves...but maybe thats a good thing
