So here is my question for you. Why do you want to be in a relationship with this woman?


She was pretty awesome up until a couple mo.s ago. She still is but this MLC is confusing her.

We were best friends for almost 10 yrs. She was my confidante, laughed at my bad jokes and made me feel special because I was her no. 1. Now I'm no. 124 or something. She's turned into an emotional wall. I can hear an undercurrent of resentment in her voice.

I think she's being influenced by an idiot therapist and is feeling like I make her feel small.

This is an alien, a strange doppelganger that I DON'T want to be in a R with. Under all that new weirdness is the core woman I love but I don't know if I can reach her until she wants it. And I don't have a clue when that will be. Right now I'm angry. This new person took my best friend, my lover and my family.
