Remorse, regret, desire to amend ... all good. But the perpetual and extravagant welding of a hairshirt to your carcass is not. It's no more balanced or fun to live with that than a guy who would do the opposite: blow something like this off completely and/or blame his wife.
Don't you dare put Miss IC in the position of trying to stuff her anger and feel *sorry* for you because you've melted down into a little puddle of guilt. It's ultimately a selfish emotion.
Kett, I can only talk a minute. I'm sorry if my post came across as me trying to put Miss IC in a position to stuff her anger and feel sorry for me. Am I guilty?...tough one there : But am I trying to play the guilt and sorrow card? I hope not, not my intentions and I'll watch how I word things. Thanks.
