My T is going to her vacation get-away location again this weekend. I'm not sure if she has a 2nd house there or if its just a time-share. Regardless, its where she goes to Play. Sometimes she takes some of her horses along (she has 7 of them) to go riding. She has a very nice 4-door Dodge truck to pull that big horse trailer. But this time she happened to mention that she recently bought 2 new Waverunners she is hoping to try out while she's there.
Now the battle inside heats up.
Rational Me: Its really good that T takes care of herself on weekends and relaxes so that she can be refreshed enough to be there for me during the week when she returns.
Pity Potty Me: I wish I could afford 2 new Waverunners! I can only dream about it. I bet I've paid her enough in therapy in the past year that I've paid for one of those Waverunners! The least she could do is let me ride it one time!
Rational Me: It wouldn't be a vacation for T if YOU went along! YOU are who she needs a vacation from!
Pity Potty Me: True. But does she have to rub my nose in it by telling me about it? And what about the fact whenever I lament how our relationship isn't real because I PAY her to be here for me, then she gives me the sob story about how she has to pay the office rent and the receptionist and other bills, blah blah blah, and sorry that she can't provide therapy for free. AS IF SHE IS HURTING FINANCIALLY. Give me a break! Her house is a freakin' mansion! Who knows what the vacation house is like?
Rational Me: T worked long and hard to get through her schooling and training to where she is today. She said her first job after she received her graduate degree only paid her $13 an hour! Besides, if you were the T, would it be worth it to put up with you twice a week ALL YEAR LONG just for the chance to ride jetskis a few times each year? Who's getting the raw end of the deal here?
Pity Potty Me: Fine. Take her side!
Just wondering if anyone else has conversations with themselves like this?
