Quote: It is hard when people around me think I am being stupid waiting around for him so therefore I keep alot inside & don't talk about it much.
You know, it probably would be "stupid" (or maybe "ignorant" might be a better word), to just "sit around and wait". There are a LOT of people out there that would just "wait", keep doing the same thing they've always been doing, and hope the situation gets better on it's own.
However, you are not one of those people, are you?!
You are here, slt, and you are learning what it takes to help make a relationship work. You are finding out about how the actions you take can help lead to better solutions.
This sounds pretty "smart" to me!!
Yes, you probably don't need to talk about it much with people that don't support your cause. They haven't been in your shoes, and therefore have a hard time really understanding where you're coming from.
You'll know when it's time to "quit". Until then, keep up your hopes, and don't let anyone steal that from you.
