The problem is that if they don’t fix, the women will get angry and throw their gifts out onto the front yard.




The flowers themselves were the "fix" and that is *precisely* what I objected to. I don't want the suckup fix; I want the effort in the first place.

As far as being cutoff--what other options do you have besides solely "feeling bad"? (btw, of course a man--or a woman!--is not a schmuch for feeling bad about being cut off)

I found that setting a firm boundary re: sex took the sting out of any bad feelings I was having.
