Relationships
Anyone feel like they are the ones always maintaining a relationship. I do and I'm getting tired of it!! I feel like I can't help it though. Its a self esteem thing with me. DH and I have talked about me talking to someone about it, but I keep putting it off.
Re: Relationships
I did for a long time with certian friends. I finally got to the point that even though it hurt, if they were not willing to even put forth some effort I walked away. Its not worth the craziness that goes through my head. Its not like there was some big blow out and we "broke up" the friendship, but we just drifted away.
Now if it was my marriage, hell yeah, I would certianly see someone if I felt like that.
But I take it this isnt about your marriage.
I used to. I had a BFF in HS/college, and she stopped trying to hang out, get together etc. I kept trying. Then, she send me a FB message blaming me (I think I posted about it on here). I was her MOH, and I had to personally invite her to my wedding. It really openned my eyes to things and our relationship. I suck at keeping up, I know that. But I try and have good intentions. My two good friends are people who understand life gets crazy, but when we do hang out it's like nothing changed. I love it. I always feel so good after hanging out.
It's kind of like "He's not that into you". If they don't put forth the effort, why should I? If they want to see me, they will invite me out, text, etc. If not, oh well. I have people who do care.
Friendships are freaking hard when you get older.
Seriously!
Of course, you might mean that you feel like you have to maintain ALL relationships in your life, which would make ending them not an option. Have you had conversations about feeling like this with the other people involved?
Agreed!
I'm awful at keeping in touch so I have had a lot of friendships sort of drift away. I keep in touch with two really good friends but I haven't talked to my "best friends" from high school and college in years. It might be awful but I really don't miss them. I agree with Steph - I think some friendships just have cycles.
