Here's the latest story. This morning, she told me that the night before, she went to a musuem with her ex-boyfriend:
Me: A musuem on a weekday? I hope you didn't waste too much time there.
Her: Only two hours, but then I was feeling vulnerable with my ex...I've just been so stressed lately...and I...did something...do you know what I mean?
Me: No.
Her: I was feeling vulnerable and I gave in and we-
Me: I know what you're saying; I just don't empathize.
Her: Oh, well, I'm feeling really weak...I didn't really want to sleep with him, but I just...now I'm upset with myself.
Me: Yep, you ought to be.
Then tonight, I had to give her like a half hour pep talk telling her to get job searches and grad school applications, because she was whining again about having nowhere to go when she graduates, probably hoping that I'd offer her a place to live. Well, that wasn't happening, but I gave her a very good speech. I should part-time as a motivational speaker.
