"Please save the niceties. I don't need it." Who's D'ing who, again?
TBH, I'm so tired of the funky dark cloud I've been under since BD. I want to go out and find some happiness. I can see that XW is going to be a real obstacle to that, so I need to focus on not letting her bring me down with her negativity.
don't do away with the niceties for her sake... how self-centered she is to think you are offering niceties because she needs it, and that you will stop because she doesn't need it... maybe you need it for your own well-being... did she ever think about that? of course not... just keep being you... stay positive... she cannot control you, your mood, your outlook... you have the right attitude...
