Things have taken a nose dive again, and her problematic behaviors seem to have returned in force.  My “this has till New Year’s to improve” resolution is looming.

They were careless people - they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money and their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby (via fuckyeahfitzgerald) —

Things are doing better I some ways, though they’re still far from perfect. There are a lot of things I need to address, but don’t know how. I’ve been looking into seeing a shrink, since I feel like it might help. But I am worried that the solution will be medication, which I don’t want. I’d rather live with the anxiety and OCD and depression. They say “but this isn’t you!” but it is, in all of the mania and inelegance, this is me.

I don’t know if it really is at all, but I’m trying to be optimistic. Had a partial fight with my girlfriend, and she says she’ll change. I don’t know if I believe that people can change, but here is hope.

I’m giving it until January. By then, if things haven’t improved then I think I have the strength to leave.

I deserve better

PSA: RP and Gaming Widows

Today’s PSA is on behalf of the RP and MMO widows.

RPers and online gamers, take some time out of your day, everyday, to love your real-life partners.

Ask them from time to time if they’re comfortable with the kinds of scenes and characters you’re playing. It might be surprising, but some people aren’t comfortable with their SOs having fantasy lovers online; make sure your definitions of “emotional cheating” match up.

Evaluate, honestly, how much energy and thought you are putting into your character relationships… And then make sure you’re giving that +10 to your real life partners.

Make sure your significant other doesn’t feel like they’re competing with your RP partners or your online world… And if they do feel that way, don’t try to shame them into saying they feel otherwise. All of the “but this isn’t real” can’t change that your behaviors have real effects on other people. If you are staying up late to play, your partner is left to fall asleep alone (which can be very lonely and downright crushing if it happens often).

Finally, if your RPs are more important than your real life relationship, it’s time to either take a step back from RP or break up; you really just aren’t that into them, and frankly they deserve someone who is.
