How much is too much?

Probably seems like an odd question to some of you, but others may understand what I mean.

How much is too much? I mean, how much of the mood swings and the arguments and the crying because everything isn't just perfect can you take before you say, ENOUGH!

No worries, we are still together, but the other night, we hit a point where I had to go for a drive because if I had stayed, it would have gotten very ugly indeed. I actually went and parked a few blocks away and sat there, listening to my radio, just thinking about things. Wondering if there is a line that can be crossed that would tell me that this is the limit and there is no more allowed. I don't know for sure what the answer to that is, or if there really is an answer. Some days I just feel like an emotional punching back, when I run out of sand, just fill me back up and take another whack at me. Other days, things are great and we get along great. I don't always know what to say or do, I do my best to let it slide off my back, but there are times when she just keeps pushing at the buttons. I don't really think that it is on purpose, but it pushes the buttons none the less.

I rarely get to the point where I have to walk away, but I do have a temper underneath it all, and sometimes she just nails the button right so that it sets off the temper. The only good thing at that point is that I know when that time I and I know when to walk away before it escalates into something that it shouldn't be. I hate going over it afterwards, because I always feel like I am placing all the blame on her, and that just doesn't feel right.

I guess the whole point to this is that there really is no solid, set in stone answer to this question. It is something that you have to decide for yourself, and hopefully, it will be before something bad happens.

I'm still working pretty much every single day, so posts are more likely to come when there is something like this of either great import or that I need to work out in my head. I will dow what I can to get them up and running, but sometimes, I just haven't got the energy left to sit here and do it.

On that note.... Time for me to crawl off to bed after running the spell check (when I get typing, I don't really care as much about the accuracy of the spelling as I am in sucha hurry to get the thoughts out of me head before they get lost in the great morass of my mins :))

Have a great night.
