Just some time..................................................................

Hi, I love the way you love him. This makes me even more respectful of you. But there is a thing called expectation that is capable of completely ruining a relationship, even when it is entirely legitimate. Now, how much should we expect, exactly how much is too much - the answers to these questions is something that you have to resolve yourself. Whether 20 minutes each day is too much, is to be decided by the situation. It may be too much today, but may not be so tomorrow. You really need to place yourself in his position. There are situations in our life when logic should prevail over love and sentiments. This is necessary just to preserve the very essence of relationship. Ask him if he can give you 20 minutes. If he can't ask him why. Then try to analyze the reason he gave you without being sentimental about it. Mutual understanding and respect is really necessary in times like these. Though expectation is the foundation of human relationships, sometimes we have to regulate our own expectations in order to ensure future prosperity of the relationship itself. Believe me, this is only temporary and is definitely for a better future. Thanks. God bless you.

Whatever you are going through now, I'm with you Saphrina. =)

Roses are red Violets are blue Here is a silly Dawn Poem for you Is that enough attention?

I am not sure that I am understanding this discussion. Do you just want a little time to yourself to just relax or do whatever you want to do without having pressure or demands from other people? Are you in a long-distance relationship and want a little time each day from your significant other? There are things that happen every day, and there will always be something else to capture your attention. If you do not make time for yourself and the people that are important to you, though, then it will only get worse. Sometimes, we have to sacrifice this special time for ourselves and our loved ones for short intervals in order to achieve the "greater good", which would eventually lead to more time for ourselves or more time to spend with our loved ones. However, if this gets to be a perpetual thing and becomes a habit, then it definitely needs to be broken. If you do not break the cycle, then you will become burned-out or the relationship will begin to be negatively affected.

For your bit of 20-minute attention each day... I could certainly use that. I also don't think I am that demanding. But there is always something going on, something coming up. I'm getting tired of this. I think people have given up on less. Sorry for this cryptic rant.

It seems that you are keeping yourself busy and that is good dear. But I think you need some time off from your daily schedule and keep that time just for yourself... Quite a difficult task for someone who is popular and friendly.... Take Care

Hi, saphrina. With the demands of my daily living as a mother and a wife, I yearn for just some time so that I can recuperate and get back to being me. It is so hard some days. I have this and that going on. The nurse at my son's school just called and told me that my son was having a headache. She is just going to let him sit in the health room until he gets back home. I don't have a way of picking him up. His father is all of the way in the country, working with his father. The nurse said that he was not running a fever. So, that is good to know. I bet that his headache came from him and his sister flipping on the floor. Which I have constantly told them both to stop doing. On top of that my oldest daughter has taken pictures with her class today. And my husband paid the money for her pictures. I gave him $10.00 to use towards her pictures. He was just paying for the remainder of the fee. He told me that he did not pay for her pictures, but my daughter's teacher said that he has. So here we go again... My husband is once again joking with me. So many things are taking place this month. Some of them I am unable to do. I was supposed to meet my son's teacher for the very first time yesterday but I could not go. I had no transportation to meet her at school on that day. Then I am supposed to be moving this month from where we are living now. My schedule us so full! I hope that I made you feel better by sharing my stress to you. I want you to know that you are not the only one that craves so desperately for some time for themselves!

hi saphie.. i don't think that i have understood your discussion... but as i guess u are talking about your 20 minutes, right? and this 20 minutes that u are losing or spending may be a part of evaluation in your future life. have a nice day.

You are a real attention seeking dumb little blondie! What am I going to do with you?

I think you want to busy in your life.. and you also seek for a partner.. i hope very soon you get partner..hope for the best with you..

Whew, you are not demanding if what you want is only 20 minutes each day. I want at least 12 hours attention each day.I am freaking too demanding (who cares about grammar?).

Tell that person to prioritize his time, if you are important enough, he will make time for you, no excuses!

Sounds as if you are having one of those weeks! Perhaps this will give you a little giggle... A guy is driving around the back woods of Montana and he sees a sign in front of a broken down shanty-style house: TALKING DOG FOR SALE. He rings the bell and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in the backyard. The guy goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador retriever sitting there. 'You talk ?' he asks. 'Yep,' the Lab replies. After the guy recovers from the shock of hearing a dog talk, he says 'So, what's your story ?' The Lab looks up and says, 'Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I joined the CIA. In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping.' 'I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running. But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals.' 'I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired.' The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner how much he wants for the dog. 'Ten dollars,' the guy says. 'Ten dollars? This dog is amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so cheap ?' 'Because he's a ******* liar. He never did any of that ****.'

what's your job there ?which country are you in ? why you need more time than us ?give me the reason . please don't puzzle us , thank you.
