“The secret to a successful relationship is pretending you’re asleep.”
The Chemical Buddha was involved in some relationships where his partner liked to discuss deep, personal, highly volatile topics right before bed. Topics like: when are you going to pay me? Is that it? Why are you so bad in bed? TCB learned early on that if he pretended to be asleep the expectations of an answer would stop. And so, eventually, would the questions. This did lead to several awkward moments in The Chemical Buddha’s life where he would pretend to be asleep while eating and, on a couple of occasions, driving. His friend actually called an ambulance on him one time when he fell asleep while watching porn. (Which almost never happened.) Even though they didn’t take him to the hospital, he still had to pay the bill.
How do you avoid dealing with things you don’t want to deal with?
And what does it cost you?
