I understand a little bit about what your going through, I got out a 5 year relationship myself about 18 months ago that ended terribly so I feel your pain.
I wonder if its really pain ? I dont know. I know it starts fun until you start putting your cloths back on. And even now, Im going to a beer fest with this woman on the 9th in sugarland. I made it quit clear that it would be best that I don't hang with the kids anymore. Not ready for it, don't want it, won't do it. Odd thing is, she said okay. Whats for dinner ?
If you are blunt and honest with women sometimes they respond to it, its quite a science.
That's true. Some of us respect men who are upfront with us, and he scores points for being honest.
This way everybody knows sooner than later, what the truth is. The truth, combined with humor, are powerful aphrodisiacs.
