Why I am the Way I Am

[Kettricken]

I have thought for some time that you might start vibing less like Daisy Duke and more like Elizabeth Bennett. That should deflate some of these presumptions.....

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as long as your power is actually on and there's food in the fridge and nobody's dying because you can't afford a doctor .... any difficulty with boundary creation with regard to these titans of industry is perceived, not actual, not so? Maybe I'm being obtuse, but you know damn well that any disparity in assets doesn't give them position to co-opt your life .... unless you let them .... is it the temptation to end your broke-#ssedness in a way that implies "sex for money" or actually "my autonomy for money" that's knotting your hair? which I could actually understand. Entering a relationship based on that kind of a perceived trade-off -- even if it's only in your head -- seems fraught with peril, but then I haven't been flat broke in awhile so I'm not judgin'.

Did I get old and miss it? Since when do people spill their whole financial history and talk about "relocating" right off the get-go like that???? Do *all* the guys you've met talk like that? Maybe you're just so irresistable you overwhelm their prudence .... but sheesh.
