Your Spidey Sense was tingling for sure.
Theyâre also adults, so they need to figure themselves out. Donât burn yourself out with their shenanigans.

Fucking called it!!! Sit down for for dinner last night and the mrs goes âwhat we we doing this weekend?â ânot much, why?â âWell, I got a message from (Couple I complained about yesterday) wondering if weâŠâ ânope! heck no weâre not doing that. Whatever it is, its a no from me.â She stares at me a few seconds âWhy?â âWe talked about this last weekend babe, we are NOT getting pulled into this shit! the other day was exhausting, i need some space from themâ
She goes on to admit the message was very strange and almost like we didnât have a choice in the matter. I pointed out as adults we very much do have a choice. I so saw this coming, I may not have understood it but I was apprehensive enough to bring it up yesterday I mustâve had a 6th sense.

I love your comment from yesterday I think, âdonât burn yourself out to keep others warm.â Iâm gonna steal it.
Iâve also seen it more dramatically stated as "donât set yourself on fire to keep others warm ".
It comes up a lot on the caregiving Reddit sub, there are way too many people who are manipulated into prioritizing other peopleâs needs above their own.
The one that really stuck with me was âYouâve kind of shot yourself in the foot there, can you please not bleed on my kitchen floor?â.
Youâre definitely doing the right thing by doing your best not to get pulled into the drama.
All good advice are lessons learned in the flames that chill, rather than burn.
It can apply to many differing situations, but the best thing you can do is look after yourself first and foremost. One cannot do anything for anyone else, if one is broken from lack of self-care.
Short answer: Yeah Nah.
Long answer: No thanks, I canât help you at the moment.

Yeah avoid that dumpster fire. Lifeâs complex and exhausting enough without taking on other peopleâs BS. Especially if theyâre in a situation where they could do something about their drama but wonât due to reasons.

or worse, they manufacture the bad situation on purpose and the bad situation always makes other people look bad, not themselves
