Since your difficult circumstances are now your partner's difficult circumstances, he's liable to resist any plans of yours that might result in unwanted hardship for him. For instance, I recently ended a relationship with a guy in large part because he <I>didn't</I> support my career goals and the sacrifices I often make for them. In fact, he made it plain that if I wanted to keep him, I'd have to give up doing the thing I love most, writing. <BR/><BR/>I kept writing.Clever Elsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16418117983991542947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2779287853088298189.post-57955907513855611702009-03-05T21:58:00.000-06:002009-03-05T21:58:00.000-06:00I love this post!

Two, you say, "I used to wish that I were coupled because I thought that I would a) have support in making tough decisions. . . (etc.) But many of these things are really fallacies." Yes! When I was a child I wanted to get married right away so that my husband could do the bills and taxes and boring adult stuff, and I could read books and play Marco Polo in the swimming pool (I guess I assumed no one ever outgrows that game, which maybe they don't). Also, I love your point about how your Singlution attitude is carrying over into your decision to take a break from acting, how you are not going to be a "desperate actor" like a "desperate dater. Good on you! I also relate to how your life is chock full of priorities that are pushing out acting (and dating)--swimming and languages are two of mine, too.

The whole premise of that show is anti-singleness - the played-up desperation of the girls and the assumption that at the end two people who hardly know each other will get ENGAGED! Why? Because being single is so terrible? Can't be worse than humiliating yourself on national television...Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05645051427718508141noreply@blogger.com
