I have a right to be irritated when it’s justified and well earned. I don’t have to explain myself to anyone if I don’t want to. And I don’t. I just want to be irritated, let it run it’s course, and move on.
I don’t want to be mis-read or mis-led. I strive for transparency in they things I do and the ways I behave. I expect that from others and am often disappointed when it’s not reciprocated.
I’m probably too demanding. Too uptight. Too analytical. Definately too sensitive.
I’m a woman. Not a game.
You have the right to feel how ever you feel.
If do not explain, you leave yourself open to being misread.
If you don’t explain, how is that transparent?
If you don’t explain how does he know which behavior has been misunderstood as misleading?
early in the relationship, most folks put there best self forward. It isn’t a lack of transparency as much as a job interview. That is why you should date for a long while, so the facade is lowered and you can slowly learn what he is really like.
Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.
