But it is!! I keep girding my loins, and getting the courage up to "1st", send the e-mail, then "2nd", talk to her face-to-face, and each time I feel like I've won a victory, I'm then faced with her deceit and her obvious attraction for this other, YOUNGER guy. I think I start to get ahead, both tactically and emotionally, and then I'm kicked in the balls and I lose the ground I've just gained trying to take the hill.

That's called a fight. You get up and start swinging again.

You can't get in a fight and not occasionally get your nose bloodied or your lip busted. That's just a part of it.

You haven't lost anything yet. You aren't down for the count. You just took a tough first round. Go to your corner and catch your breath then back at it when the bell rings.

Oh, and see what you can do to lose the lease on the sporty car. Get something you can afford, like a minivan. No need to finance a play-mobile. Do it nicely.

Start pulling the props, especially if you are strapped for money. Remember, proactive, not reactive.
