e-chic, I'm just reading back on your original thread as I see you are posting a bit, right now.

Each one of us always has the choice to stay or go. Neither is right or wrong, just choices with consequences...

I respect your choice to leave.

Right now... you believe you have done everything that you could to make things work out. Do you have any regrets?

Do you plan to be single for the rest of your life?

Do you expect a new partner to fulfil all that you did not get from this M?

How have you changed to ensure that a new R or M will be different than this past M?
