Jesus, I forgot the whole half of the tale that was relevant to this forum.

We got to talking about the guy I am dating.

And the shrink told me in no uncertain terms I was 'castrating,' him.

I said.... "huh?!" WFT do you MEAN?

K. Historically... I have been a woman exploited, yadda, yadda. We all know the story.

I had no idea I was doing this.

I keep my man... from being a man... simply because I am unwilling to trust him.

Not with sex, per se, because, I am proud to say, I have gotten beyond that (yeah me!!)

But because... I just simply am unwilling to trust him, or any man, with my vulnerability. No news flash to anyone here. But... he was able to give me concrete examples.

For example... me unwilling to give up my freelance career, even thoughh it would be to my determiment, so I don't have to give up my flexibility of time to go see him.

That is detrimental to MY well being. But he assures me, that if this man truly loves me, he would understand... and if he loved me, would find a way to be with ME.

No. No. No. No. Really? No.

Yes, he says. A man in love will move mountains for the woman he loves.

No.

Yes. He would.

No, I can hardly believe it.

No man who loves you would ever ask for you to give up your well being for his own.

No.

Yes.

Really?

Absolutely. And by you not allowing him to find his way to you, if it is in him, you are castrating him of his manhood.

Get the fck out of town.

Yes. You are. You really are. How do you think that makes HIM feel, you not trusting him to take care of it?

Uhhhhhh..... deer in the headlights look. Uhhhh....... Corri is stumped for the first time in her life.... Uhhh......

Guys? What do you think?
