Is anything ever different? One person is codependent. One person leaves other chases and finally realizes that it is not working. They realize they need to work on improving thereselves. Do they ever work it out and fix anything? I got divorced. Did the DBing thing. Got my wife back. And then we broke up again with the same problems years later. No, changes can only go so far. People change as they age. Are really the two people breaking up in all these posts just not capable of living a life with each other even though they want to? Negative thoughts I know. I was just wondering.
