I am fairly open and up front about my feelings. What I have found in any number of relationships is the person I am with either does not listen to my expressing them, or chooses to assume that I will never end it. But there comes a time where I realize that I am putting far more into the relationship than I am taking away from it, and when it becomes obvious that no matter how many different ways I endeavor to explain this, the person I am with does not hear me. I tried to get my former marraige to work for almost 3 years. I eventually gave up, worked things out, told my kids I was leaving, and moved out the next day. I knew it was over one day when I was hiking and wondered what she would find to scream at me about when I got home from the hike, and I thought about the hundreds of women who had said they would wonder why her ex-husband/boyfriend was going to beat her for when she got home. For me it was an epiphany, a realization that it would not ever work which broke upon my consciousness like a thunderclap. And then I was gone. Sinergy
