the "nice guy"... or not
is it possible to get along with an ex? does either one hold a bitterness and treat the other differently? is this the case with friends as well?
i've been dealing with an ex that doesn't see the two way street in the friendship. the person automatically assumes that i'll always be the nice guy and help, even when i have plans and can't. yes, i am that nice guy and it is very tiresome at times. for once, i put my plans ahead of the "nice guy" and went with it. i must say, it is interesting to see a persons level of understanding when i do this; i can easily tell who is a friend or not. anyways, the reaction from her wasn't a level of understanding, instead, she was irrate about it. i attempted to talk about the problem at hand, but she gave no response. so, what am i suppose to do now? sigh...
honestly, i find the situation rather humorous, since it is over a small thing. maybe the dispute over small things happen for a reason; maybe the dispute helps bring an end in a friendship/relationship.
the stress life causes is nothing compared to the stress we create for ourselves.
