As an update to my insightful journal from yesterday
The hardest part about all this is, though I am enjoying this time to myself and learning about myself, my biological clock is ticking. Almost all of my friends are married or in very serious relationships. And there is part of me that sees this time going by and worries. Worries that I am wasting time.
Now my rational part does come in and says, hey better to take the time then do something cause you feel like you have to and be divorced within a year.
Thank god for the rational part!
My other problem - control. I have a controlling problem. Meaning that I still get annoyed with exes when they don't act or do what I want them too. I don't know why I feel like I have to control others.
And the real irony is that I prefer to be the one controlled sexually.
But for some reason I can't let them live their own lives. I not judgemental of friends, I do not try to control them, but in relationships I get very controlling in a passive agressive way.
This is definitely what I am going to work on in therapy this week. This need for controlling someone else. I know it learned behavior from my mother, but I also know how her controlling nature makes me feel, so why would I expect someone else to like it?
And even if I don't verbalize it, why is it worth my energy to be not happy with someone because of their behavior when it doesn't affect me?
Hopefully after Tuesday I will have some answers to these questions.
I have the biggest girl crush on Elvgrenink. I think she is great!
