I hear what everyone is saying here, but IMHO at some point you must "LET GO" , I guess I am more of the ROBX camp. You must risk everything in order to gain(to borrow a line from HB). You have heard people say to drop the rope. I am not saying to give ultimatums, or to be harsh.
But if you love something enough let it go, if it comes back it is yours, if it doesn't it was never yours to begin with.
