Shit Starters and Liars

I cant sleep. I have been a wake since about 3 am. Conflict again. It weighs on me and damages my health, my spirit and my heart.

I get these uneasy feelings at times and cant shake them. I dont always find out why but my past has shown me that I have a pretty good intuition and it serves me. Fortunately, these feelings and events are not usualy life threatening, yet, they are things that would upset me if I really knew the truth.

When this happens, I get into a snappy funk. I lose my mojo and try to hold it in. It seems to always come out at the bf. And he isnt good about defusing it. He gets frustrated, I lose control, he on the other hand, purposely gets mean, pulls away, withholds, acts ugly towards me. Not good for us, we have a type of relationship that I call 'passionate'.

Since I start it he likes to finish it....

We have both been under a tremendous amount of stress and pressure. It is easy to forget to appreciate the other, lack affection at the end of a 14 hour day and be friends on the same team when you dont see eye to eye, have communication problems and want to avoid the unavoidable.

There really is very little room for us for dishonesty. When you put that in our pot it you can taste it. It's a mystery ingredient that you know is there, but cant quite place it. I taste it now, but will probably never know what it was, or will never want to find out. But it makes me sick.

It makes me just put up walls and lock the gate to protect me from the unknown.
