Are some people just takers?
Within the last 24 hours, I "gave" the following to the same person...
-- sex
-- a rescue when his car ran out of gas on the freeway on-ramp
-- money to buy gas
-- a couple of hours of work on his web site
-- forgiveness for standing me up on a date (he was busy taking phone calls)
-- a cooked supper because it was too late to go out
-- a couple of beers
But then we had a fight about what I interpreted to be a sexist remark about movie stars. (Some things really push my buttons)
I tried to change my mood. I tried to avert the fight, albeit I didn't do a very good job of this. And I can get "unreasonably" riled about some things.
But the minute he didn't like my "mood", he was out the door.
Is that right?
Am I unreasonable in thinking that I was due some slack?
Or should women just shut up and be nice all the time?
