KEB, please don't say this anymore-- on this board or anywhere in your life: " D@mn I'm SUCH a girl!!!" It has always bugged me that the most insulting thing males can think of to say about themselves is to call themselves or each other female. The women on this board have taken you in, so please don't insult us.

When I've said to my bf that I will not stay in a R like this forever, he says, "Fine. Go. Go now. I don't need you." It doesn't make him receptive to working on things. It just makes him mad. I don't use this as a threat. I've only said it in the counselor's office, in front of her. In fact, she has said to him, "You're so convinced Lil is going to leave you, that you're driving her away." He still doesn't get it. I'm trying to make him see that I'm running out of rope. Can you advise? Thanks.
