Geez, reading that Smartcookie post just tore me apart.

That is indeed a glimpse into X Mr.Avermont's heart.

He said "he is done."

I said "I can change."

He said, "I don't think you can."


That sentence particularly hurt, as in an email to OW he said " I know, people change, circumstances change" in response to their talking about his leaving me.

And HE certainly changed.

And it also hurts that he left so completely that I have no chance to show him my changes, or how much I am willing to work on the R.

But good G-D almighty, that little story seems to say it all...
