"Darling, I'm really sorry, but you cannot think of yourself as a burden. You don't tie me down, I'm independent enough to do my own thing, to see my own sights, to have my own fun. That I miss you through it all doesn't affect my enjoyment of the awesome things to be done here. I think it's really unfair of you to suggest that you tie me down. To me. Because it makes it sound like I ought to be some kind of serial womaniser / someone who can't maintain any friendships or relationships because I'm too busy thinking about my own fun. Which I am not. Absolutely and irrefutably. In describing yourself as a burden you seem to forget who I am, that I am not bothered by hearing what you have to say.
No I don't think you're accusing me of sleeping around or anything, just that you seem to feel that I ought to be leading a much more shallow and superficial life than I am. In saying that you tie me down you imply that left to my own devices I'd be a lot more crazy. When in reality I exercise all my freedoms and liberties, have a great time, and miss you through all of it. But it doesn't affect my enjoyment of these things.
And I miss you too ok. So let's not talk about burdening. Or weighing down. We've discussed this and I've told you on every occasion that I don't like it. I think I've explained to you why now, properly.
Please don't talk about things like you're a burden. Because it implies that you think I can't enjoy anymore, or that I'm predisposed to shallow and superficial pastimes and that I don't give a damn about things that upset you.
Bothering me. Stop saying it. It hurts every time. It implies that I don't give a damn about you."
