Well, back to work and the fun begins. Hand is still really painful but in a healing way, not a way that makes me afraid it will never end. Surgery is weird

Good to see you back on the pseudo-world we call LJ.
I've found that if I just ignore it she gets over it much more quickly. PMS is terrible cause of the whole deal that our cycles almost coincide so first I'm all emotional and sensitive for a week, then she's all crab-assed and rude for a week. This is the one reason I've ever even wished I could be attracted to men.
This is the biggest reason I could never be a lesbian--as much as I love women and their fluidity, I'm emotional enough for 3 people. I would end up breaking up with someone every single time we had coinciding PMS. :)
As for how you're feeling--I'd say it's normal. Of course, I'd say that b/c it's almost exactly how I am. Sometimes I get frustrated and irritated even with the people I love the most. I need a lot of attention too, but I hate feeling stifled. I want to be respected, but I don't want to have to take care of other people's basic needs unless absolutely necessary. That's the one thing that dating men makes frustrating--guys sometimes cannot take care of their own basic needs to save their lives. I mean, if it were left to my bf there would be giant piles of dirty dishes, laundry and dust all over the house. Not b/c he wants it that way, but b/c he has no concept of picking up after himself. Sometimes it makes me feel disrespected--like I'm just here to be his maid.
Anyway, I think the big struggle is to accept that people are different and won't always handle things as you would. And that doesn't necessarily make them wrong, just...different. But man can it be hard to bite your tongue!
