I’m tired of insensitive jerks parading around as “supportive, encouraging and understanding” individuals.

They’re not that way.  They just say the words because they think it sounds good and earns them extra brownie points.

This just in: It doesn’t.

I have been dealing with stress up the ying-yang, with no relief in sight, and people wonder why I’m edgy, irritable and low on patience.

I’m sorry.  I’m trying to plan a wedding.  I’m trying to plan a marriage.  I’m trying to plan a freakin’ LIFE which is NOT panning out the way I expected it to and I’m sorry if you think I’m edgy, irritable and impatient, but I’m not getting much HELP, SUPPORT, ENCOURAGEMENT, and UNDERSTANDING from the people that SHOULD be offering the most.

I am burned out, overwhelmed and exhausted.  I don’t want to argue or bicker or try to explain myself until I’m blue in the face.  I just want someone to UNDERSTAND.  But most of all, I want to sense the SINCERITY in all of it, I don’t just want the words so you can get me to shut up and quit whining.  I want to know someone GETS it, I want someone to STEP UP TO THE PLATE instead of PRETENDING to, I want someone who MEANS what they say and says what they mean, I want someone to come up alongside of me and ask if they can help with some of the burden.  I want someone to understand the pressure and the frustration and the confusion and the helplessness.  I want someone to say to me, “Here, this is what we can do,” rather than asking me, “WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?!”

I am all out of advice and suggestions.  I’ve been doing my part as best I can and I’ve been doing a helluva job at it.  I want someone to recognize that and take over from here.

Any takers?

Yeah, that’s what I thought.
