The woman I am in a relationship with is complaining that she has to drive to see me, I believe that maybe she doesn't like me. Well, I think it is rather humorous that she believes this is the case. After all, if she truly did not like me, why would she go out of her way to come and see me? If she didn't want to be around me, why would she bother? If she truly disliked me, she would be avoiding me, not making an effort to drive to me. It is possible that she is simply tired of driving, or that she is feeling a bit overwhelmed with everything going on in her life. But I daresay that she does not dislike me, for she would not go through the trouble of visiting me if she did. So, I will not worry myself too much about this, and instead, I will take her complaints as a sign of her effort and dedication to our relationship.
