The post was clear enough for you to clarify your position. So you understood it.

Innuendo? It did appear to attack your character. That was ass-like. I apologize.

Your response helped me to clarify your position. I found a nugget in it as well:

I don't know if you intended this, but you pointed out a very important concept: It is YOU who submits yourself to misery, hurt and rejection from her actions. Her actions are just actions. Her choices, however poor, are still her choices. How you let them affect you is where the struggle lies. Now don't take this as another assault on 'you'(ew, ass-ault, doesn't sound like a good choice of words in this context, but I'll let it stand) I think we all could put our own names in place of 'you' and give that thought some time to simmer. There is a marriage speaker and author by the name of Emerson Eggerichs who has a saying: "My response is my responsibilty".

Perhaps you should look at that issue for yourself.

Thanks for the concern.

I do not post very much, largely because of the statement quoted above. I would say that 75% of the posts I write never get submitted because I do the very thing you suggest. I re-read it and realize that much of what I'm trying to express I need to apply to myself.
