Cat,
I havent thumbed anything on your thread before but have kept in touch from the outside. I too love the "ants" reference and many a day I have been succumbed with ants or more aptly "fire ants". It seems every day someone or myself leaves crumbs left over for them to devour.

So, i'm thrown into the wild ocean again, still angry right now, I know it will pass. He is soooooo messed up. We talked some, he believed I was going to take my revenge (sigh, again) on him for what happened, "because I'd do that", and that he believes this will never go away, or least it seems like. As you can see, the ANTS are killing him.

Cat, You are an incredibly warm and forgiving person and this is the truest example of such character. Each act such as this is an "injection" of strength and will only make you that much more immense as an individual. As far as never going away....it wont unless he takes the action to do so. It's like screaming at a pile of cr@p lying on the ground to go away. Sometimes you have to plug your nose and pickup a shovel and dump it in the garbage. Your patience will prevail! Either he will understand that HE has to take action or you will still be left with your strength for the future knowing you did the right thing.

I m even thinking of getting a male pen pal on the net just so I can talk to another person, I don't know, prob a stupid idea. He'll be changing his # again, and unlike last time (damnit, I told him so!) will tell the phone co. to be unlisted.

Cat....I am hoping you were joking on this. Tempting "Chat Gnats" on the net will only bring further pests in all forms. Stay strong and use the good people here as "netting". I for one will always try to catch you and I am meager in comparisons to AUD, SD, JEN JAM and ROB from the flanks.

So I leave a small can of "Raid" that you may use on those "ants" of his...there is even a mention on the label that it takes care of "Sap-sucking marital fruit flys." Peace
