When's it my turn?

What's up, SD? The mood swings sound familiar - I went through a stage of thinking "this M is great" to thinking "this M is the pits" within a week.
These swings lasted a couple of months for me, I think they ended when I said to myself "oh stuff this!" and shared with H EXACTLY how I felt - like his LD. I laid it out "this is a problem and if you don't fix it I cannot guarantee I will stay in this M 2 or 3 years down the line. I am happy to help you if you want, but mainly it's up to you."
Sound like a threat? I made sure I said I didn't want to leave the M, but I found the living like brother and sister intolerable so may be forced to leave when I didn't want to.

Just to show you how I laid my feelings on the line, sat back, waited and watched and since then H made HUGE efforts and life is good. I think maybe he just needed a little instruction. He did argue back a bit at first, until I pointed out he has always told me "I like to be told things straight, if there is a problem just tell me what it is" - I think I said to him "you say you like to be told things straight, but you don't like to hear them straight". I refused to accept any of his old ways of putting our problems back onto my shoulders.

Make sense? Is this close ot how you're feeling? Or are you just busy out partying now school's out?
