Working at the nursing home I have to care for the elderly which I truly love. Part of my job is restorative care and my nurse just recently told me to quit spoiling those younger than me. If they can do it themselves am I really helping or just enabling them to just give up? Sometimes I have to be momma and sometimes I have to be daddy. I really do enjoy telling residents half my age to respect their elders. And feeding the elderly is a joy. I really enjoy telling the older ladies to eat all their vegetables so that they will grow up to be big and strong like me. I usually get a laugh from the sane ones.

How do you harden your heart and stick to your guns and invest yourself in a relationship for YOUR sake, and not the other guy? Hello! I think you actually have it all sorted.  My thoughts exactly. So you are a "nurturing" personality you said. That is YOU. Don't expect your partner to be YOU. Don't expect them to nurture you back the way you feel you are nurturing them. You are probably nurturing because you yourself want to be nurtured in return. You said as much yourself. |

How do you harden your heart and stick to your guns and invest yourself in a relationship for YOUR sake, and not the other guy? I support this too. I feel like in our society someone having a healthy, giving Mother Theresa-like heart is a burden or could be of a great opportunity to some people out there who aren't comfortable being affectionate and real with someone who needs it in return. It's a difficult decision to be hard and stolid when it comes to feelings. I feel like to protect yourself you have to know where your boundaries are and draw a line to people who only want to use your good nature as a scratching post. 2 cents. Over and out. *giving you a kiss on yer noze* Best 2 cents I ever paid.  It's a pain in the arse to know everything. I take it a day at a time. |

Having just come out of a long relationship built on loyalty, promises, religious duty, and constant arguing, my hope is that it must be possible for two people to give and receive in trust and honesty where the two together have a joy stronger than as individuals as they look to please each other.
