Stuart, dont give up on this site. GB means well. Sometimes we come across posts that really irk us. Believe me, when I was new here I got a lot of them. Chalk it up to "internet communication". In other words, we are only able to communicate a small amount of what we are feeling through a post and others may or may not interpret it the way we meant. Consequently their response may or may not be on par with what is going on. GB is not here to judge you or condemn you, but try and make you think. I agree with GB on things and disagree with others. But every person posting on your thread WANTS to help you in their own way.

The mere fact you are here posting speaks volumes as to your character and your heart. Especially being a male. (no offense to the ladies, but men do tend to be more guarded with feelings). Keep posting. People here will offer you all kinds of advice. Take what feels right to you. At the end of the day, you have to live with your choices. Not the people here. Everyone here has had an experience similar to yours and they share from that experience. If there was a magic answer, or correct path, there would be one poster and one voice. Everyone is different and everyone's situation is different to some degree. In time you will find yourself posting on other people's (I hope) threads sharing what you have learned from your own experience. It may help some, it may rub some the wrong way. But share.

Keep at it, and keep posting. This forum was the best thing that could have happened to me almost a year ago. I hope a year from now, you look back and think the same thing.
