"As trite as it sounds; if you love something set it free... "
That's a BS belief. If your marital and individual issues haven't been fixed, then it doesn't matter how many people you go out with. You'll still have the same problem.

When I read it now, I still cringe. I think it helps to calm down the pursuing desperate LBS (or sad 16 y/o).
It belongs on a bathroom wall...no offense, really.
Wow. Just wow. Obviously you two seem to completely miss what i'm trying to say. And yes, i find it offensive, really. At least i know now which forum members get a kick out of stomping on the outpouring of feeling and emotion by someone in pain.
As it seems to cause so much offense, i'll rephrase it in a different way. If you respect someone enough to acknowledge when they need time and space to heal, let them go.
