No more broken toys

I think I would look at this relationship and do some soul searching. It doesn't seem you both are on the same page.

Hope everything works out for you.

Be thankful for those broken toys, don't let it hurt so much instead take the lesson learned and apply it to your life. Remember our true strength is being reveled by the experiences we have had with these broken toys.

Hi Lisa,
You get these people who define give and take as 'you give and I take'. You just have to accept them or ignore them, depending on how much they mean to you.

Some years ago I had this girl friend who operated like that.

When her cistern overflowed, she called me. When her tap leaked, she phoned me. When her drains blocked, she called me. When her window, broke she called me. When her lawn needed mowing, she called me. I fixed everything for her; squeaking doors, frayed iron cords, broken drawers, you name it and never asked her for anything in return.

But when I was sick in bed she did not even wash the cups that we used while she was there. She did not even bother to ask if I needed something from the supermarket. She was forever too busy or in a hurry when I asked her to do something for me.

It went on for a few months until I got fed up.
