Re: Just Venting, Airing Out, Talking Shit, Personal Beefs, Problems, Anger Management, and etc Thread for 2017
You have a huge amount of empathy and take on others' problems as if they were your own. You're a good friend whom likes to help and likes to fix things. You take on too much, at the detriment to yourself. I remember having a similar conversation with you before about your empathy and getting overly involved (probably at GS). *wink*
FUCK...I don't know how long my rope is but I am afraid I might have nothing left of maybe just an inch or so before I blow...
My husband finally blew his fuse a couple years ago and I spent alot of time and energy reeling him back in..the problem is I am alot scarier than he is when I blow....and he can't reel me in with any guarantee of success...
The problem...we have three friends with SEVERE OCD. One lost his job due to it..as a college professor and has no effect on us...another I just hold my breathe and hope I can work my way out of whatever "situation" happens and I have to repeat the same assurances 100 times...but the third one...UGH....I am getting really pissed off now. He keeps pushing it...like telling me how to write now because I need to make the circle in my cursive "e"s wider....and I am fucking furious that he pushes his bullshit on me without any clue. He nitpicks and cusses about everything...he has gotten me in trouble with his need to challenge everything and everyone on everything over the years and I had to try to explain the nature of OCD. Funny thing..as much as he criticizes EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE...he cannot handle ANY real or perceived criticism himself which is odd as fuck to me...as much as he dishes out that he can't take it???????????
So..for years and years I have excused him and reminded myself he can't help it..he has severe OCD...but it keeps getting worse...and my patience is running out finally. Everyone else complains about him and I wont' join in..which is why I am doing it here. Hopefully my steam has lost a bit of pressure now...
