Tonight, my partner is doing something very nice for his significant other (the one who was there before me). And, before, this would have made me happy...and I still am happy for him, genuinely, because he enjoys romantic gestures like this (and this is a pricy one!).
But I know she won't enjoy it...and she'll complain to her new guy, tomorrow, how horrible my partner is to her.
I don't care, anymore, about this kind of thing...I think I should, but I just can't get angry about it anymore. It's just, one of those things, you know? But, in case I do slip, I'm wondering what other people do in those situations. When your partner has to do something for someone who just doesn't seem worth it, when you're doing so much to try to make him or her happy, and it doesn't seem "fair." And you have to just "get over it." Indulge myself in a bubble bath and not think about them for a few hours? Let myself just get really, really upset (like, deliberately worse than I even really feel), cry, and drain the emotions?
