ORIGINAL: FaithfulYoungCuk This is what I've written so far: "RE: "One thing I do want to say to you baby, and it is very important, if you want me to keep this up, you have to let me do it my way with out having you interfiering in it." What does this mean? Interfering. Participating on some level? This life of ours is my life too. I deserve to be happy also, just like you do, just like they do. You... you adamantly refuse at the slightest hint of me having any say in how we do this. Am I not part of this for you? I take care of your interests when you are with them but... maybe i haven't explained very well just what it means to take care of my interests. The other morning was a good start. I wont be an absentee ballot cast in the vote of a fixed election. I want you to take me seriously when I'm saying things that are important to me. Nothing's changed for me. I've brought things up in the best way I know how and I feel like you're only listening to and thinking about the words I'm saying until the moment I stop talking. When I stop talking it's back to computer games, back to David, Andrew, Emad.... as if to say "I've stopped talking, problem solved". Problem not solved. You have a priority list and I don't feel like I'm where I ought to be on it sometimes. I believe that if i was, it wouldn't be me whose thoughts and feelings stopped being considered when my lips stop moving, it would be theirs. Problem not solved. I feel like i'm chasing you, trying to keep up and see what it feels like to be in your eyes again. You mess with me too much cuz I don't know what to believe in sometimes. You threaten to cut off all ties with these men completely any time I really push for what I need, but don't I do all that I can to give you what you need? You've really made me wonder what would happen if i said "okay - cut them off - tell them all the truth, stop seeing them completely: you say they mean nothing, so that won't be a problem, right?" What would happen baby? Instead of being afraid of the answer to that question any longer, I guess it's time to know." Stop arguing details, you both sound like used car salesmen now and rehashing the details instead of looking at the structure. Start back at the beginning. Look at this relationship, does it work for you? Do you really believe you can work it out? Tell her this is what I should have negotiated for in the beginning, this is how I should have answered your questions instead of saying "I don't know", THIS is what works for me and what I must have. Keep it simple, renegotiate the terms of your relationship, if that is, you think it will work. If you are truly going forward with this relationship, you are going to have to find a way to set aside the hurts and be open to starting over, maybe then you rehash the details to get it out in the open. Right now, this appears to be a big mess and I question whether either of you are mentally able to actually work WITH each other to figure it out. Again, it's advice given based on a snippet of your life. I don't know you, take it with however much weight you believe it should be given, but stop selling yourself short and say I deserve these parameters in any relationship I have.
