Logical?

I'm in the midst of a life-dilema and as always when these things interrupt my 'normal' life, if I write, the answers often will appear before me on the once blank page.

Why does love have to be so complicated?  If each person in a relationship awakened every day wanting to put the other person's needs before their own, or at least on a par, everything would work much smoother.  But we don't.  We each have our list of priorities, wants, needs, must-have's and passions.  We struggle to find balance and compromises and things normally align themselves.

But...every once in a while they don't.

So what do we do about it?  We speak up, we ask for more, we try to get things back on track...or we let it go and hope that things work out on their own.  The problem with the latter is that if things go on for too long, it builds like a boiling kettle, sitting silently on the back burner until the whistle blows and the kettle shakes violently.  In my experience, simmering, leads to boiling.

I believe I am a patient woman, and I have done my fair-share of 'letting it go'...turning the other cheek and picking my battles.  I tend to study both sides (part of my Libra-cusp charm) and then make notes on the reality of it all (my much stronger Virgo side) and then ponder a course of action.  There is always a Plan A and a Plan B...I must have been a good scout in a previous life.  Next is the presentation of the situation and then listening to the feedback and readjusting as necessary...then the Plans come into the picture.  And ultimately the solution will follow.

Doesn't that sound logical?  One would think so...but not everyone is logical, or at least my view of logical.
