relationship stupidity

Postby everything on Fri Feb 12, 2010 9:03 pm

couple of stupid things.

stupidity 1. got a little emotionally attached - "in like" with my coworker. fondness is mutual but apparently asymmetrical. now said coworker is outta here. I feel sad. stupid stupid stupid.

stupidity 2. decided to tell her. a little embarrassing. otherwise perfectly ok probably. relationship survives and probably still thrives. we're both already attached so this will remain just friendly.

anyway feel stupid about the whole thing but that's the way it goes. ah. good to get it off my chest though.

yup. moving on emotionally as best one can, really. not totally so professionally and personally though. small circles and all that. no real harm done either way. just one of those annoying things.

Sounds like you came out of it better than many. Glad to hear it...

I think it's better to have gotten that off your chest (things to tell the people I want to say something to, before I die) than to go through life wishing you'd said something.

"Fishing off the company pier" is rarely a good idea.

Try to see her leaving as a blessing in disguise. ;)

I agree. Life is too short and honesty as the best policy has been working out well all around lately, despite the difficulties of it. I don't really like avoidance now. It's like trying to just use evasion alone when sparring. It's better many times to just be direct.

Ha yes, good point. Thing is, I wasn't even fishing. This just happened by accident by spending so much time together.

When I see someone attractive a work, I assume, as an article of obvious usefulness and merit, that it is no use whatever to try it out.

Did it ever occur to ask why she was a-shaking it in cubical space?

I don't do that.

You don't do that.

Anyone who does it is an idiot.

I define internal martial art as unusual muscle recruitment and leave it at that. If my definition is incomplete, at least it is correct so far as it goes.

I met my wife at work. We've been happily married for 12 years.
There is no specific place that you "should" go to meet women or people.
You will be attracted to those you grow attracted to no matter where you are.
Finding your other at work is more common than your might think.
A shared work environment usually translates out as many other shared interests.

If you feel emotionally for someone, it's better to let them know sooner than to let those emotions continue to grow disproportionately to the reality of them being returned in kind.

Good luck!
