I am with you, Trent.

Kevin, I am simply shocked that you had the audacity to write and post what you did. People, myself included, have worked harder than they have ever worked to detach and become emotionally stable and healthy and HAPPY without the aid of somebody else in the form of a intimate/romantic R - either in the real sense or simply the ideal of one. And, FWIW, many of us have done so under far dire circumstances than you can even begin to imagine and I hope you never have to. While you worry about the stupid BS that you do some of us get up each day and wonder if today will be the day our kidneys stop working or we will fall out of remission but you sure as hell don't see us taking polls on how to handle it on our own with inner strength and dedication. Then again, I don't use my "circumstance" as an excuse to not move forward, be happy and make the best damn life I can for myself.

I think Trent is correct, you *do* have all the answers and there is nothing more for us to exchange. I will echo the "best of luck to you" statement.

I really think you have no idea how terribly offensive your post was. Your W might treat you like crap but you treat others the same way. At least your W is open and treats you like crap because she feels like it. You treat people like crap under the guise of being a victim, stander, preacher or whatever it is this week. You can project your weakness all you want, it just won't fall on my ears or eyes anymore. And that my friend is a boundary.

Take care.
