exactly! i totally agree with you! there's is no longer any reasoning or discussion, because a woman like this will never change her ways. she is a maneater and she has always been like this,and the only way of winning is to block her (i noticed that if i don't confront her, and ignore her, she gets very mad, because i refuse to acknowledge her knowing that it's only going to ensue a berating argument).

i've been wondering why am i wasting my time, and i've been looking back at how much time i have been wasting with her resulting in my withdrawal from any dialog which will produce anything positive--and she even hasn't approached me about my change in attitude, about my complacency about not being romantic or loving anymore. she seems to be at peace.

it's a done deal with her; it's only time now before i decide when to leave. she's just a shell willing and able to live like this with her monthly maintanence, feeling superior by continually telling me how wrong i am with everything.

it's really come down to just being roommates, just living for the kids, just living for the sake of living, because there isn't anything else to do or to go to.
