My friend, Lindy, and I have been close for some time. She lives on my street, and we see each other nearly everyday. She has a vehicle, and I keep it gassed up, and we run errands, shop, etc. Our views differ on a great many things, but we've gotten along just fine... Now, she's driving me crazy.
She's very negative, and judgemental, and I'm really not wanting to spend time with her. Tonight, I went over to return a movie, and was telling her how much I'd like a husband. She instantly started up on how much trouble men are, and how the stress would be doubled, and that getting married is stupid. She's divorced, and anti-relationship, and doesn't even have interest in sex anymore, and that's fine... But why does she have to be so negative about ME wanting it? She admits she's never been in love, but it feels like she doesn't even believe it exists.
And I don't see a man as a liability; I LIKE guys. I want a partner, a lover, a best friend, a deep emotional bond built on mutual trust & respect (and great sex!). An agreement that no matter what, we're terribly pleased to share this world with the other person. So, he'll have faults, but I'm not Miss Mary Sunshine all the time, and with my health issues, knowing someone else can back me up on finances, housework, and emotional stability would be a MIGHTY fine thing. But all she sees is the bad.
If it was JUST this, I think I could ignore it, but she's been so opinionated about EVERYTHING: weight, religion, parenting, illnesses (both mental & physical), even the holidays. She's driving me away. She's done so much for me, and I love her so much, but I don't want her around right now... She's really making my life toxic. :(
