Tabitha, Speaking of relationships...

It seemed a while back that you were thinking of breaking up with your therapist. How is that going?

Was I? Geez.. whatever it was we worked it out. It's been pretty smooth sailing in that relationship lately. Why do you ask?

What brought it to mind is that what I told Noa about her job sounded awfully familiar to me, and I realized it was more or less what I said to you about your therapist.

Then I remembered that these things are often resolved by means short of separation. And it sounded like that was true of you, so I was just checking.

And I'm glad to hear it. :)

yes, whatever it was, I complained freely and she validated my feelings, perhaps offered some explanation, perhaps not, and eventually, despite myself, I came to see it differently, or it just became less important. That's the ideal case though-- I haven't had any luck at all with resolving workplace conflicts that way. It's a whole different game there. Part of my frustration with my job-- the interpersonal friction just never seems to improve.

Disclaimer: I didn't read all of Noa's thread so this is no comment on her situation at all.

Yes, so I am learning. GAME being the operative word! I'm finally catching on to this fact--a bit late in life, but better late than never, I guess!

Isn't it unpleasant, the type of human relationships that happen at workplaces sometimes. So confusing and not gratifying to play.
