SLPTG

So, things with SLPTG are ok. Well, they're good. There's just a little issue with the use of "my" time. Much of "our" time is spent doing things for her or doing things that she wants to do. Fine. That's an ok way to spend "our" time for now. We'll see where things go. It ain't going to be like that forever, but, hey, maybe this thing isn't going to be forever.

Several weeks ago there was a little difficulty between us. It had to do, entirely, with the disparity between amount of bending backward she does for "us" compared to the amount I do.

Fine.

I think the difficulty was that there was no resolution and only a thinly veiled offer of change.

me: well, I come over there much more than you are over here, blah blah blah.

SLPTG: I have different commitments that prevent me from coming over there and I didn't realize it was a problem.

me: Well it wasn't, but now it is. That's the deal. I'm expressing to you, that I've busted my ass to come to see you as much as possible and put things off as much as possible for a very long time, and now I'm telling you that I'm going to have to change that a bit. If you don't come over more, I'm fine with that, but understand that if that is the case, we'll be seeing less of each other.

SLPTG: Well (notice how we always start off sentences with Well, well, it's written from memory and I'm sure it's not that many, it's just, well, that's the way I remember it).

[big long promise of how things will improve, have faith in us, in her, etc.]

...few weeks later

me: so, things aren't much different. I'm not surprised.

SLPTG: well, that's nice of you to have so much confidence in us.

me: I'm a realist. and somewhat of a cynic, but really, is there a difference?

SLPTG: that's not funny

me: well?

SLPTG: OK, tomorrow. blahsey-blah will happen, and I'll be over.

tomorrow comes and goes, and lo and behold, something comes up.

Okey doke. I'm sticking with my original thoughts. If we see less of each other, it's because one of us ain't doin' our part...and it ain't me.
