Abstract

My boyfriend, Julian Vance, always said that people in relationships shouldn't use their partners as emotional dumping grounds.

So he set a rule. I got ten minutes a day to unload on him.

He said his job wore him out and he hoped I'd understand.

I agreed. I even thought he simply had strong boundaries.

Then my grandmother died, the woman who had raised me on her own.

I came back from the funeral home still gripping the reading glasses she never got to put on.

All I wanted was for Julian to hold me for a while. He sighed instead. "It isn't that I won't stay with you.
