Why not?

I need to think about what it is that makes me think he's still a good guy and why I can't pull off, "he's an a**hole and I want nothing to do with him."

I am paying attention here.

Hi aliveandkicking.

Maybe it's because you still care about the man? No crime in that!

I saw a post by Coach the other day that struck me with a heavy blow. He said..."What are things you can do to improve yourself and care for your beloved when things seem the darkest?"

You seem pretty darn strong to me! And I think you bring a lot to the table! I think you're the kind of woman only a fool would leave! A lump of coal is turned into a diamond over time, with pressure! Lots of time and pressure!
