ORIGINAL: Lordandmaster You know, I'm sure this guy is an asshole and so on and so forth, but there is something I've always found revolting about discussing a relationship that's in the process of failing on an internet message board. We're only getting one side of the story. It's impossible for anyone, let along strangers you've never met, to be able to tell you anything constructive about your relationship solely on the basis of what you've declared about it. All we can do is say You go girl, Get away from that asshole...meaningless crap like that. I understand your point, and yet, many people continue to post about their own point of view, one way or another, in various phases of relationships, here on the message board. And many seem to feel that the responses they get are meaningful in some way. Simple support and affirmation may not be what makes the world go around, but it is apparently not completely meaningless crap. I wonder if this is a male/female thing. you know those conversations where a woman tells you something that is bothering her, how she feels and so on, and you feel frustrated because you don't know what to do about it, or how to make it better...and then she says, "Oh, I feel much better now, I just needed someone to listen!" :) Men generally don't get that. best Smythe
