I agree that this thread should be stickied as it is very helpful as a reminder to all of us that a majority of the problems are the MLC's issues and not necessarily our own.

One thing I would like to point out though is that IMHO, OUR pride also is a big part of remaining stuck. I am realizing at least for me it is. I am slowly learning that the woman that I knew is basically dead and that I have to bury her and move on.

I also see the Taoist philosophy ( you have to let go, in order to gain)in these threads, which are now making sense.

When I met W, I wanted nothing to do with women because I had been burnt hard before. When I wasn't looking for it she came under my radar. I do not regret the relationship no matter how much it hurts now, because I have always been greatful for what life gives me good and bad, because i try to learn from it.

Anywho, that is my 2 cents. Thanks for the great thread!
