Better to love or be loved?

[LuckyLuke]

hi wbw - your phrase "too nice and forgiving" rings a bell... it sounds like you need to set boundaries to protect yourself, so you can deal with this 'stuff' more on your terms. Perhaps you could write down what bugs you, find some words or actions as a response (e.g. "I don't care to hear about xyz. Let's talk again later", and hang up) to each, and do it.
