[QUOTE]Originally posted by Heather: [QB] You know, I'd say that when something is bothering you, not only is it okay to talk about it, it's usually better to (unless it's super-minor and no big whoop to you) than to bottle it up and also create possible barriers in a relationship. You know, this obviously isn't tiny to you because here you are, sounding pretty upset. I'd say if you sleep on it, and find you stay upset (you might not be, when we're sick, we tend to get upset more easily), then it makes sense to figure you should talk about it. And you know, this doesn't have to be something you make into a big drama. It could be as simple as you saying you felt hurt the other day, and would like to figure out a way together where you can see each other briefly when that's all the time you have, and do so able to separate after a little while so either of you can also get done the other things in life you need to.
