overwhelmed
There has been a lot of aspects in our relationships that has come to mind in the past few weeks. This on going arguments concerning sacrifices and putting things against me will haunt my thoughts for quite sometime. Dependency is one thing because I do depend on you on certain aspects in our relationship, but to solely depend my whole entire being to you is something that I feel I can’t give you right now. I also feel like you expecting me to do just that, is really a lot and shouldn’t be even be asked from any person at this point in a relationship. It’s one thing to expect certain things in a relationship, but to expect a lot of different aspects all at once is overwhelming, it will take time little by little. And I also feel like you expecting all these things is somewhat of your expectations for YOUR ideal person in mind that you’re trying to mold me into. I mean, do you love me for me or do you love the idea of me? With all your expectations, kind of puts certain things as if it were an obligation rather than willingness. You say you understand me and that you realize that this is the type of person that you are, but do you know whether or not it's right for you to be acting the way you do? You want to be in control, and I think that’s because you grew up feeling like the man should be the authoritive one, which is something I totally disagree because that’s not how I grew up. I’m grateful for what BOTH of my parents have sacrificed for me because I recognize what they both did for me. And yes it may be true that my mom has sacrificed a lot, I mean geez, she is raising 2 kids all by herself. But it doesn’t mean that my dad didn’t sacrifice anything for us, him going to the PI alone is a big sacrifice, him standing up to his family for us I respect. I think, a lot of your actions reflects on how you view relationship, and since the only real relationship that you have as an example and have come to know are your parents’, you try to mold our relationship like them, which I don’t think is right. You can’t just take things and mold it to become yourself but use it as a learning tool. I want us to still be able to stand up on our two feet by our self; people can still me as Carla and you as mike. And yes, you’ll probably be a different person if you lived here, but our reality is not that case; either try to deal with it or don’t. this is not what we were wanting, how we're living.....
