alrighty. time for another post, figured i would share, maybe it could help me and/or someone else.
For those not on the know, please look at my last 2 posts. OK, so today, i am really tired. Just emotionally drained from all that went down last night.
But also, at the same time, since i have now reached a decision on how i am going to be, whati am willing to deal with, and not willing to deal with... i might be tired, but i feel good.
Also, for a bit now, my look on the future, while generally optimistic, i had no hope for my relationship... and well, i have no clue if it is going to work out or not, but i will be myself eeither way. So if it works out, good, especially since i care about this girl... but if it doesn't, that is ok too, because i got there by being who i was, and i will not compromise who i am.... damn i wish i could take a nap at work... i am sleepy.

Good for you! Being true to yourself is the only way to go. If you're honest with her no matter how things work out, you'll know it's meant to be. Best wishes to you!

I know how tough that is to say, but it is worth it. When we start compromising who we are in sacrifice for the contentment of another we are sacrificing too much. I know you know that, the tough part is doing it.

Good luck sweetie....to thine own self be true...

Ditto to Netti and Queenvale's response. Good for you! This is really a hard one and you have a lot of support here. Get some sleep....take care.

Yes I agree, you are who you are and you shouldn't compromise that to please someone else. That is how you become a lost soul.

When a couple can't each be themselves in a relationship because their not getting along, so they have to compromise too much and be something their not just to sustain the relationship, it isn't worth it anymore.

So, hats off to you.
