Relationships and the "Valentine Vampire"

Have you ever been in a relationship where they shower you with praises,complements and gifts? They are also calling you all the time on the phone or your email has so many attachments that you feel you better look at all of them because you know they will ask? Then the next thing you realize is that all your energy is drained because you have to re-assure them constantly that you are interested in them, love or committed to them or you will get the "silent treatment" or the reminder that they love you and can't live without you?

It happens to "Guys" too. One time I had to stop volunteering to move them because I have a truck. It became a ritual every six months when their lease ran out. Also, I can weld,plumb,carpenter,a jack of all trades. I had to get real dumb otherwise I became their handy man. That's maybe why I got smart and went to school for Journalism. See, I still haven't learned anything. I just told you my skills and I have tools.

OK, my CS tribe and family, we are in the season for Valentine Vampires. So, get your garlic, crosses and stakes ready to place around your neck.

Happy Valentine to the staff of CS and to all you. I love you and this site and I cannot live without you. LOL :)
