(needless to say to the one thing in my life that is going absolutely wonderfully :smile) but I digress&#8230;<br \/>\nI have let some issues get to me a little to much, things I would have, under normal circumstances overlooked, have upset me more than I should have let them, and stuff I would have normally played &#8220;devils advocate&#8221; on and tried to get others to see things in a different light, I&#8217;ve instead gotten right in the middle of, even though I&#8217;m not certain how it all got started to begin with.<br \/>\nAnyway&#8230;tonights thought&#8217;s&#8230;<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve always been one that believed we are each responsible for our own happiness (and still believe that no one but you can make you happy, it just depends how you go about doing it) and if you&#8217;re miserable, well it&#8217;s your own damn fault (meaning don&#8217;t go blaming your parents, partner, spouse, etc&#8230;if you&#8217;re unhappy there, leave dammit) however, recent events have been showing me this may be an overly simplistic view&#8230;<br \/>\nWhen I was married I was miserable, yet I stayed, due to reasons again I&#8217;d rather not post in such a public forum, those that need to know, know why I did&#8230;<br \/>\nbut here lately, I&#8217;ve been the same way for different reasons, but the outcome is the same, this time however, there is nothing I can do about it!
