No, no one is perfect, and even the best of friends have off times and argue. This is what make us human and are experiences real. If everything was hunky dory perfect all the time, wouldn't that also make you question the authenticity of the relationship.
People play on others people emotions. It's a card to play. Is it right ? Not necessarily. But is it wrong ? Not necessarily either. I think it's human nature to push boundaries and possibly use someones disadvantage to one advantage. What matters is how you feel about it, and what you feel comfortable allowing. You do have considerable control over how others may treat you. So it's more of a pick your battles situation & weigh out what's really important to you and what's not. Then define this to her and lay out your boundaries clearly before you enter any Arrangment.
Good luck

I think your bang on with your comment about
Authenticity of the relationship and about picking
battles with what's really important and what's not.
We texted a bit yesterday and something she wrote
really kinda explained everything to me in spades.
She often says things or texts comments that have
significant meaning that she doesn't realize.
So yeah I have my answer to my question and the puzzle now has all the pieces in place,
Let's just say I knew she liked to party. I wasn't sure
exactly how much buts she texted something yesterday
that revealed just how much which is something she always
did her best to mask from me,
Coke and Alcohol really effect a person's life in ways that the user just can't or doesn't want to see.
It's often obvious from the sidelines as I don't do it.
But often I kinda refused to see it as in a way it's none of my business .Also didn't want to believe it either. But I think she uses it so much it did effect our time together in different ways. In retrospect I see it more clearly now.
Number one reliability issues just for starters.
Like I don't want to bash her cause we did have a lot of fun times and adventures together but addictions are serious
and at her heart a good person but I think she is misguided.
So not sure. Not really fair to her to just drop out. So will offer help and if accepts good. If not well than maybe time to move along. That's something I will have to gauge when we talk abouts this all. As it is important to me,
I do prefer reliable, responsible, down to earth time with ladies that like to have fun. Now when I say fun I am referring to adventures. Rappelling, climbing, hiking,Helicopter and Jet Fighter rides, zip lining , stuff like that. Also really enjoy going out & about for the evening. Obviously
sleepovers are always fantastic as well. Lol
She enjoyed the adventures but a few times stuff had to be delayed or sidelined because of unreliability.
So there you have it. It's a shame really. Feels like three years
wiped away . But it's better to figure out a few things now than later.
I do apologize if my vagueness
in the beginning threw some things off. Like I said just wasn't
sure exactly what it was but thanks to a PM and a few posts here it really did help me narrow things down. A lot of comments really made me think lots about
this lifestyle as well. A bunch of great people on this board.
