Painkillers

Most of us are 'blessed' with a partner who has the emotional support capability of a gnat... they are never around when we need them, they claim to be the busiest person on earth, they answer 'huh... oh, yeah... i love... hmmm?... you too...' and 'yeah, yeah... i miss u too...'

This causes emotional pain for some of us who are very sensitive... so we go out and get some painkillers... it could be in the form of a friend, alcohol (not recommended... booze and loneliness does not mix well)... or in some cases, a 'replacement'... which is our topic for today...

You see, these painkillers are easy to maintain. You don't need a relationship with them... you just want them to fill the gaps in your current relationship. You could be just friends but you can 'pretend' they are something else in your mind...

An example would be like this... something interesting happened to you... you can't wait to share it with your partner... you call your partner up and they say they are too busy to talk/listen to you... when all you needed was 2 minutes of their undivided attention... this obviously will cause you some 'pain'... so immediately call your 'painkiller'... to them, it's just a friend calling so they will actually listen (why is that?)... so you tell your painkiller your two minute story... and end the conversation feeling much better...

It's sort of a surrogate partner...

But just as real painkillers, they have to be taken in moderation... you don't want to be addicted to your painkiller... that would lead to cheating... and you don't want to do that, do you? Right?

Of course you could always use the excuse that your partner pushed you into cheating on him/her, but that's really not nice...

What am I teaching you guys?
