There's been some talk over the last few days about why some of us are struggling over here on Piecing.
And you ain't just whistling Dixie, Sage!

NOW, my needs are bubbling up a bit and it makes it more confusing sometimes for me to decide "am I being reasonable here? How do I balance what I need with H?"
Yup. It's all about balance and whether we feel we are being reasonable with our requests. I fight with myself all of the time on this. Should I ask for X, or does suggest I'm being needy, and needy isn't healthy? Ugh!

"Wait a minute, isn't it completely reasonable for me to NEED something from him and expect to get it?" Hence my "I'm sick of this" post on Friday. What I did realize, though, was that yah, it is reasonable, but I didn't get what I needed anyway so for now, I just need to look at this as another opportunity for DB growth.
Good introspection, Sage. "Need" is a difficult thing to define, though, isn't it?

Take care. I'm glad your H is being great.
