"The likelihood has to offset the likely pain of even further rejection, as my wound is still open (or at least not fully healed) from her affair."
This suggests that you are still being withholding, perhaps. Note that I said IF...
In any case, rather than looking for what is wrong in what I write, why not look for what is right with as much effort?
Point taken, OT, and I'm sorry if I'm doing that. I guess I'm just feeling cynical today. You (and DQ, and Hoozh and the others) really have opened up my thinking a lot from what it used to be, even if it doesn't seem like it.
