"A simple response to what you wrote is that the older guy has a problem with knowing how to love -- or in other words, what to expect from someone you love! He is expecting (demanding, even) things that you cannot give rather than being grateful for what you can!" I've been that person. And for many years, too. Somehow I just couldn't figure out why each close relationship I ever had ended with my beloved fleeing from me. I gave plenty, that was for sure, but was expecting (even demanding) in return. It was something someone else had to point out to me. I never could see it on my own. As a daily reminder, I drink coffee black now instead of sweetening it to suit my taste. Yes, it's not who you love, but how you love. ---Ford |
