Hey GGG(G),
So glad you are still with us! You had us worried. I must say I have been waiting for you to come to the realizations about GUBU you have now. It seemed so clear he just doesn't deserve someone as wonderful as you. We all try to hold on to the hope that our S's will come out of the fog and return to being the descent people they were before the MLC hit. I have and so have so many here. There comes a time when we must start to think of what is in OUR best interests. You are so much happier, more vibrant when he isn't around pretty much bringing you down. The MLCers seem to think of ONLY themselves 24/7. They expect, demand even that we LBS's bow to their wishes and look for reasons we are to blame for their own bad behavior. We know better. We know what a "normal" R is supposed to be like. There can be no R when one person can only think of ways to make themselves happy. A R takes give and take and while it doesn't always need to be 50/50, there has to be some give. GUBU can't give that much is very clear. If that's because of guilt or just because it doesn't matter to you. You deserve more. Not only that I'm sure there are many real men out there who would love the chance to have a healthy R with you! You can't waste your life waiting for someone who had the chance and threw it away.

It will be sad to say goodbye to your critters. I too am an aminal lover (don't think I would have made it this far without my dog there for me) and I know that will be hard. Just another thing we LBS's are forced to give up because of our S's MLC. You will be great GGG. You have grown so much in the time I have been on the board. Time to spread your wings and live your life for YOU!
