You know when it's not your day

Just had a strange encounter with the other half last night. I don't know how to describe it but it's one of a negative feel.

It takes just one incident or a string of little incidents to drag the whole past into picture. When that happens, all hell breaks loose! Just a mixture of sick twisted emotions running through every vein! Sad, disappointed, heart-broken... and at the same time love, understanding and pity comes knocking on the door! DAMN IT! I hate feeling this way. To which emotions should I give in to?@!

Both trying to play victim; like playing musical chairs to Alice in Chains songs, without chairs! Both trying to garner pity from the other. Both trying to play hurt! Who benefits from all these insane games in the end??? NOBODY!

And it's the norm response... Why? why? why? Why? Why?!

~sigh~
