I do like this debate, it goes to show the opinion and thoughts of a man and woman.


Again. This is why you are "STUCK"...

It isn't about "debate"..

It is about doing what works. What you are doing is really not working. It isn't going to work. You can take her to dinner, rub her feet, wash her hands, do the laundry, give her comliments and be her friend for another three years.

What will work is letting go and letting her see and feel that you have given up on trying (alive calls it "working")

Your working is NOT working. Two and one half years should be more than enough. I could be wrong though. Maybe another year or so and enough work can turn this around. Be her friend.
