Ok, I have a sense of humor and can see how that is funny. But that letter only took me about 46 hours to write and I lost 5 nights of sleep toiling over it. I reluctantly posted it (big mistake...maybe) and I finally got the nerve up to share it with her and I actually gave it to her. She has not had the opportunity to read yet but I will just take it out of her nightstand and shred it.

I give up. I now see that my situation is probably hopeless. Posting messages was making me feel better about things...now I feel like a big idiot and I'm going to ask that all my threads be removed because I am extremely embarrassed about ever coming here.

Corri, that response is identical to the "stinging humor" type of thing my LD wife would say and has been saying over the past 10 years. This is why I'm here...it was one place where my feelings weren't poked fun at. Sure it's constructive to hear a point of view...but now I feel like a laughing stock. Maybe I'm too lighthearted alot of times which invites things like this. But at any rate, I'm done here. And you have just reminded me that I really shouldn't open myself up...especially to women.

Best of luck to all of you.
