Feeling Suffocated

[Waus]

It's hard to tell someone you need space when you sincerely like them. :(

man, that's still going on? I thought you two talked about this already :/

[Waus]

Yeah...it's just hard when two people have different quotas for contact with their S.O.

Am I the only one who struggles with this?

I went through it. We had other issues too though but that was a huge part of it. I personally could not handle it.

I don't really feel suffocated or anything, but sometimes it's difficult to work someone else into my schedule. I haven't done my laundry in forever and my room (though normally quite messy anyway) currently looks like a bomb went off in there and I can barely find anything anymore. I should've done something about it tonight, but I did internet instead.

ah, but, dude is so fun to hang out with, I don't mind if we hang out every day. we both have separate band practices and he does go out of town regularly though, and I went on a trip recently...so I guess those little breaks keep things from getting overwhelming.

I do get kind of exhausted having to talk so much though on nights when we're not together. jesus, he keeps me on the phone for soooo long. I hate talking on the phone. also, the other day I went to a barbeque and completely forgot about calling him until afterwards and he was like, "yeah, I've just been sitting around by myself all day", and I was like, "ohhh, uh, sorry, I thought you'd be hanging with the dudes?" and he said, "no, dudes aren't home". and then I felt terrible. :/ oh well, he got over it.

luckily I've turned him on to texting, so the conversations are less now. don't get me wrong I like talking to him, but not on stupid cell phones for 1+ hours with an annoying fuzz in the background.


yeah, so I don't really have any advice. ha. I just know that if you tell anyone that you need space, there's no way to spin it so it's less hurtful. it's pretty much like rejection even if you don't want it to be.

Yeah, it was pretty rough for a day or so, and the conversation itself was a disaster. It's made things better so far though.

I know how you feel about the phone - I don't know, I'd just rather be where I am doing what I'm doing most of the time and not on the phone. It doesn't really have anything to do with who I'm talking to.
