Responsibilities
a rant by elana

I have taken on the responsibility of several grown men by accepting my job. I hold four lives in my hands every day with the decisions I make at work and the professional choices I peruse. Granted, this was my choice, but it also became my responsibility to continue to keep them in my focus. It doesn’t matter if I am having a bad day, not feeling well, or in a bad mood ~ I have to take those men into consideration before I make any and all decisions. There have been times I have been sicker than a dog or exhausted to the point of tears ~ I still had to get off my ass and go to the grocery store because my guys needed milk. As a Leo I am a dependable, loyal person anyway, but more importantly it is what I agreed to do.


I know myself. I would as dedicated to meeting the needs of my Partner that I am for my guys, if not more so. However, I would also expect my Partner to meet my needs in return. If He chooses for me not to work, then He becomes responsible for not only meeting my financial needs but also my intellectual need for stimulating conversation (and not just sexually stimulating).

I am so very confused right now. Part of me is angry, another part of me is hurt. I shouldn’t be either, because I am not directly involved. My very best friend is in a situation that I can’t do anything about. She has found herself in this situation more than once and although I am confident that this is something she needs to learn for herself, it doesn’t make me less angry with her current partner.

All I can do is be supportive of my friend. Only she knows what is the right path to take on this journey. I hope that she knows I will support her 150% ~ even if I wish I could just sit her down and say “listen sis, enough with the games. You deserve not only better treatment but more than this so snap out of it.” Doctor says I shouldn’t give to much of my opinion like that, and this time, I think He is right.

However, if my friend asks for my help its all fair game :)
