Wow. That's a large plate from the buffet table!! Did you really have to pile it that high, girl?!?
First things first.
I'd suggest that you take a piece of paper and draw a line in the middle of it. Label one side "NEEDS" and the other one "WANTS." I usually find that it helps clarify some things that can be blurry and murky. It might help you as well.
Sometimes people see needs as interchangeable with wants. I've learned to really discipline myself with shopping. I stop and ask myself, "Is this a need or a want?" Saves me some bucks that way!
Likewise with your life balance. What you're describing is a life balance.
I think the more clearer you are about the balance portion, then you'll be clearer for your discussion with GUBU. Make sense?
