I Need a Break

There's too much going on right now. Way too much. I want to stop the world so I can get off.

I'm dating a man who is so into me, so emotional about it, that I'm starting to feel besieged. He wants more than I do, and he keeps wanting to have these long discussions about the relationship. I don't think I can handle this much longer. He's trying so hard to talk me into being his girlfriend, and the more he does it, the more I need a break from him.

Then, there's the political situation. It seems like a new scary/horrible thing happens about once an hour. Don't these f---ing politicians ever sleep? I'm doing what I can (making phone calls, signing petitions, etc.) but lately it seems like it's literally every hour. I wish I could get on a plane and then land on a remote island, like in LOST. It's beginning to feel like the MIB and the Others would be safer than the real world.

Oh, yeah, and with all this stress and anxiety going on in my head, I have to get my work done and act normal all day long.

Where's that plane to a remote island?
Sorry to hear that you are so stressed. Try using brutal honesty with the guy. I understand that you might not want to hurt him? But by not discouraging him with your honesty. Aren't you in fact hurting yourself as well? ✌

Kat, best I not address your political concerns, as I'm very happy with the new administration. I spent 8-years feeling as you do now.

As to your man...if you feel so besieged by him, you need to lay some boundaries, and if he does not respect them, let him go.

At least that man has good taste and knows a good thing when he sees it.

I'll meet you at the airport, you bring the music, I'll bring the wine :)

I'm crashing this party. When do we leave? *bounces with anticipation*

@ChampagneOnIce: Yay. Come on, you can help me pick the wine.

Hi, I've just been through a similar situation to your encounter,albeit from the other side,I'm 51, been single for 3 years,had a few internet dates but no one really fitted the bill, is it a man thing going overboard I don't know. I met a girl online a couple of weeks ago,she seemed way to pretty for me, maybe something to do with my lack of self esteem,ticked all the boxes,I was determined to try my best to make it work, I basically followed the same line as your male friend,went over the top, bottom line,I scared her off, I've learned next time a box ticker comes along,play it cool,be fun,and just enjoy things.

Weell, one good thing. A man is totally into you. That is good, yes? As I remember, a while back you doubted. ;-)

The whole political thing...I don't get the panic people seem to be feeling. There have been far worse situations in this country. We truly aren't going to change much about it.

A little small, but...

Well, there's a plane. Not to a remote island, perhaps, but...

And never doubt again that a man will find you attractive. Maybe not the RIGHT man this time, but...

I'd love to! I need a job there, though.
Gforce1163 · 56-60, M
I'm sure that can be arranged🙂

@Gforce1163: If you're serious, PM me.
✈🏝 Closest thing that I could find to an island on here. 😎☮
