Yes, a lot of sense being spoken here! In the situation I mentioned I could see that my friends needed to talk (offload?) and I am very used to listening - sometimes people just need 'get things out' to be able to feel better and I'm happy to be the friend they can do it with
. It seems there are quite a few of us here that do that! But with my hormonal ups and downs I'm finding it harder to sit back so much... I have stuff of my own i need to talk about! Unfortunately I realise now that that not many of my friends are the 'listening' kind. There are maybe 2 or 3, just not many of them.
Thankfully, I have a very patient and tolerant hubby who is also a good listener, and I don't know what I'd do without him
. I hope everyone else in my boat has at least one person they can turn to...
