Dear Amy: Keeping her cat at my house so he can have company puts my own health at risk.
I’ve grown increasingly sad and frustrated with not being able to find a relationship, despite going on dates. I’m sad not to have a husband and family at this point, both of which I very much want.My problem is this: I often contend with remarks from married or engaged coworkers along the lines of I am “able to do more with work” because I “don’t have to get home for anyone” and I’m “lucky to live alone.
How can I respond when people say these things to me, while making it clear that their comments are insensitive and unwelcome?I agree that these comments, while likely tossed off without thinking, are inappropriate in the workplace. On the one hand, I know that her life isn’t easy due to numerous health issues, including memory and vision loss – plus the death of my dad just over a year ago.On the other hand, and my siblings would all agree, she makes everything so much harder than it has to be, for herself and for everyone around her.
It doesn’t take very long when trying to do anything with her before I’m stressed out and frustrated at the way she treats me and what I’m being put through while trying to help her.I can hear the whine of an unhappy child in the grumbling of the adult I’m supposed to be, and by nightfall it’s not just one day’s worth of issues I’m trying to let go of, but decades of conflict, misunderstandings, and bad behavior on both our parts.
