First: You do not "let" me do anything. Learn that. Second: You are entitled to your wants and needs. But there is also such a thing as irreconcilable differences. If we cannot find a peaceful solution to this issue, I do not know how our relationship will survive. The fact that you cannot fathom a time when your work will bring me trouble worries me because it means you aren't thinking things through properly. If you cannot even allow the thought that things are going to fall apart, you aren't preparing. And whether you mean to or not, eventually I will be brought into the fold. It's old habits, Scott, and we will fall into them. You will come to me for advice, or even simply to vent your frustration and I will feel obligated to help you somehow. Maybe the worst possible scenarios that I can think up won't happen, but I can feel myself being drawn in now against my better wishes. Imagine how it'll be in months when there are more mutants to babysit. I feel less your girlfriend and more your business partner lately. And when you speak, it feels as though you are just as busy trying to convince yourself that things will be better as you are me. I do care about you. I am not trying to be cruel for the sake of cruelty. I know myself. I know what will happen to us in the end and it won't be pleasant if this continues. I'm trying to make you understand this.
