Re:

why don't you tell me what you think it is that I have been asking for. for some reason, you still just say, i don't know what you want. my mails about partnerships, help, giving as well as receiving, you wanted staff responsibility, but didn't take the time to learn it. I want a peaceful happy life. I am tired of one bad mood after another. kissing someone hello, giving away sox. saying baby on the phone. no one picking up the phone. saying the soup is bad, rolling my eyes, giving someone a hug, not holding others to the same standard, while at the same time repeating that they are only employees. being told I'm sorry I'm too busy, and then when asked, ok tell me what you have been busy with, it's, "see you want to start a fight." when I threaten to take away your video game, you call me disgusting.

If this was the first time we were having this conversation I'd say I could easily answer that question. You want me to contribute and bring something to the relationship, take some of the burden of everyday life off your shoulders, do what is important to you and what you ask for without questioning it, take proactive steps in learning things and growing myself by reading great books and asking smart people questions, supporting your fun and accepting your 'friends'... However, it is not the first time we are talking about this. So although I understand the idea, I know I was not successful translating it into specific actions that would show my understanding and I am concerned I may not know how to do it now either. I want to think about it and get it right.
